For many Opponauts who played iGP Manager, the single largest challenge was necessity of a desktop or laptop PC to enjoy the game to its fullest. Spotlight, the mobile app for iGP. Now, anywhere you can go, iGP Manager can too, whether it be a phone or tablet.
A lot has changed since Opponauts began playing iGP Manager in August 2014. We don’t have time to be at a PC to manage a race anymore. In response, the game’s tiny team of developers (three, then five a few months ago) streamlined the game massively.
It certainly took a while for this day to come. There’re a couple issues with the app, but are being rounded up to play nice in subsequent app updates. Just search for iGP Manager on the Play store or App store and create a new account. Explore the game and join the Oppositelock Racing League! If you’re unable to join the league, comment below and I’ll make room.
The game is still accessible on PCs! It won’t look any different between mobile devices and PCs, with the exception of tablets utilizing a landscape layout when playing.
We race every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 10PM Eastern/9PM Central. Race lengths are 50% of the full race length, or half the laps of a typical race.
Several heads up and recommendations:
- Qualifying begins 10 minutes prior to race start. It runs privately and can’t be controlled, except via your choice of tyre for the first stint.
- Practice laps are available until 10 minutes prior to race start. These should be performed as close to the deadline/qualifying lock as possible.
- It’s very easy to squander your money at the beginning of the game! Be mindful of your spending.
I will add new tips and recommendations as necessary. If you have any questions, just comment here or in the comments section of the league in-game.

Yes, yes it is. Come back :)
If we get Cards against Humanity as an app, Oppositelock will implode.

how are you liking the game since the new version?
I haven’t played a bit - it’s wierd - I was in a daily league, and occasionally the oppo league (last elite champ before the version change lol), and then stopped cold turkey. And I’d just re-upped for another year too.

It has been really great, the old design system was thrown out for a much more dynamic one.

it might not be car centric, but it’s a great game that has constantly added packs. Also, you can right your own at any time (for a small fee of in game money that’s really easily earned, no need to actually pay)

So you said half the length of a normal race, what’s the normal average race time commitment.

I wonder if this is what my brother-in-law was playing all weekend. I don’t have a computer so a tablet version would be awesome!

A couple of non-Oppos we don’t know are in the bottom feeder tier of the league. I’ll have to make room for you!

45 minutes is right around the middle ground. The longest race is Monaco, close to an hour. We set up our league schedule to have that race take place on a Saturday instead of a weekday.

It is available for ALL mobile devices, including tablets! Just search the App store or Google Play Store for iGP Manager.

Three, you’ll start under the Rookie tier.
We’re making room for you now, so try joining now before the spots fill up again!
If the site is being loading intermittently, keep trying for a few minutes. It seems a lot of players are online at the moment.

Awesome. We freed up 6 spots and all 6 got filled up in less than a minute ;_;
That’s literally how many new players are joining the game!

Also, I’ll be making a comment in the game about inactivity for non-Oppos, you can just ignore it, as there’ll be much more lenience for Opponauts.

I’ve been wanting to play this for awhile but am usually never using a computer unless I’m at work.
I used to play a lot of Motorsport Manager. Assume it’s somewhat similar? Is your team able to sim the qualifying/race if you’re not around? And are there practice sessions?

It’s got a few similarities to Motorsport Manager, but is totally its own game after that. Qualifying is its own process and the race can be left to its own self. It’s fun to live manage a race. For beginners, it produces the best results and provides the most learning experience. I still remember all the foolish mistakes I used to make.

I noticed I could go into a setup mode, can I not run any practice though? Seems like I’ll have a lot of fun with it since I loved Motorsport Manager. It’s stuff like this they need to add to console racing games.

nevermind, I figured out how to practice. Are we limited to a certain amount of laps in practice?
"Blunion05 drives a pink S2000 (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)" (6speedhaven)

Yeah, it’s 5. Best to do them as close to the qualifying start time as possible, which begins 10 mins before the race.

I already used them up... and then got new drivers, lol oops. Live and learn. The race pit strategy confuses. I see the fuel thing but have no clue how long the tires last so am in the dark on what to use. Assume that can all be changed during the race?

Yeah, when you enter your live race when it is going on, you can change each driver’s strategy regarding fuel and tires. When it comes to tire life, I’ll simply say that the times of day we race, we will never need to use the Hard compound except in the rarest situations (when temperatures are 40 Celsius and up). Also, since I’m mentioning temperatures, the weather conditions that are displayed are live conditions of the track.
