Racing manager sim · 1988–2026
Upstart Grid
Upstart Grid is a historical racing manager sim from Upstart Simworks. Create a driver, sign a contract, and race real seasons weekend by weekend using historical grids, calendars and series rules.
Two ways in: a driver career, racing for your seat, or a manager career, running a real team from the grid. Quick Race covers one race in Formula One, IndyCar, NASCAR or IMSA. The database lists drivers, cars and teams in the archive, with ratings, sponsors and historical winners.
The 1988 grid is on the board across those four series. The full game is $19.95.
Phone and tablet.

FAQ
Before you start
Where are my saves?
One driver career and one manager career stay on this device. Sign in to keep up to three careers in the cloud and carry them between devices.
Is there multiplayer?
You play the career on your own. Quick Race is one race on this device, and nothing from it is saved.
What is the refund policy?
Email hello@upstartsim.com within 14 days of buying for a full refund. It goes back to the card you paid with. The same 14-day policy is on the refund page.
Do I need an account?
A career on this device does not need one. Cloud saves ask you to sign in.
