Golden Lap

A great and absolutely my favorite mobile game. I got into Le Mans early this year and making my own little team, watching them race, improve, create better cars each season, slowly climbing the ladder, with a small mini game for tuning your car is just fun. The simplistic flat color 2D is lovely along side the weather effects and clouds. Now, if i had one small nitpick, i really wish there was a setting to turn off “unimportant” radio chatter. On PC im sure its no problem, but on a smaller screen the racers going “I CANT PASS LEVI MACH” along with “SIGH, IM GOING TO HAVE A BAD TRACK, SO SORRY EVERYONE” covers the circuit and its sometimes a nuisance. Otherwise its a 10/10 and i can’t recommend it to any racer fan enough.

I have had Golden Lap on my PC for about a year and a half now and installed the iOS version a couple weeks ago. I liked it on pc but it was definitely more of a mobile game in the sense of simplicity so I have played a ton more on my phone waiting in the airport. It’s worth paying for the full game for sure and it’s a fair price. Like I stated simplicity is awesome for newer F1 fans and I love the nod to the 70s F1 teams since copyright issues won’t let the real teams and drivers exist. My only grip is I wish there was more mid season things to do. I think that’s where it really lacks. I think being able to fire people and hire people mid season would be awesome. Other than that the game is fully worth it and I’m so glad it has reached iOS.

The game plays and feels very crisp, UI is well designed and strait forward. I played through one season on pape and enjoyed the experience of having to replace injured drivers and mange the overtaking. Bravo! One issue I’ve noticed is my car stats don’t carry over from season to season? This design seems counter intuitive as I pay for upgrades or a new part all together but just lose that investment while my team grows… making it almost impossible to work your way up from a mid ranked team to winning outside of countless repetition to reach competency limiting my desire to play more. Cheers!
