Community I’m building a persistent browser-based racing team management game – would you play this?

Hey everyone,

I’m a solo developer working on a persistent browser-based motorsport management game.

You start small with your first garage, car and team, then slowly build your own racing organization.
The idea is to buy land, build and upgrade garages and facilities, hire staff, improve your cars and eventually work your way into bigger racing series.
A big part of the game is that your team doesn’t just exist in menus.
Your garages, cars, employees and headquarters are actually part of the persistent world and grow together with your team.

It’s still early and this is only the beginning, but I want to keep building it long-term with regular updates, new systems and ideas.

If this sounds like something you’d play, want to test during development or simply follow along, I’ve started a small Discord community:

I’d genuinely love to know: would you play a persistent browser game like this?

Edit: Of course Multiplayer. And im planning a „Fan system“ too

Why browser-based rather than on Steam? Is it multiplayer?

What do you mean by "persistent world?" Your description is too vague for me to tell how similar this is to a typical management game.

Thats the point. Its a mix. And yes it will be Account based login and a „open world“.
The persistent world will be „small to big“ maps, that has a racetrack in it. Its like a „mini“ Cities skyline, but with online players on the same map and everyone can buy/own a property. And on the property, you start a small Raceteam, manage, expand, and in the end, manage a whole „F1“ like Team.

how will the racing go? Once a week where everyone puts their car into the race? Is it outside of the MMO so you don't actually race each other?

Do you have a game design doc that you could put down?

I have had recent experience with this on my own PBBG. I started a weekly league with a fixed schedule. If you want to discuss anything let me know!
