Disclaimer: First of All, I was provided with a Trial of the Game by the Publisher.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JKO5mGYFSM To the Game: Pitstop Challenge has a fantastic Concept. Finally, you can jump into the Role of a Pit Crew. This means hiring Mechanics, they have to send them to a selected Position during The Pit stop and help the Team Driver with short Stops.
That sounds fantastic, at least on Paper. Especially at a small Price of 8 Euros. Foolishly, the Game has numerous Bugs (Crew sometimes doesn't allow itself to be trained), hardly any Depth and the Idea wears off after the first Grand Prix. Foolishly, pit stops are sometimes also completely irrelevant, because the Drivers drive according to their own Ideas. So If this one wants to heat his Tyres, he does. There is no Way to work out any Strategy.
Unfortunately, even if the Title costs only 8 euros, that is 8 euros too much. One can only hope that the Developers will continue to work on the Title. Rather disappointing In current Form.
Pro: + Fantastic concept + Cart fixes associated with strategic Mini-game Con:-Numerous Bugs-No explanations or Tutorials-After a Race You saw everything (no Depth)-No real Strategy necessary-No matter how good the Pittest was, the AI Driver Brew it away on the Track-Graphically hardly any Setting Options

tl; dr: Good Idea, very poorly implemented.
In principle, Pitstop Challenge is based on an interesting and beautiful new Game idea. You take Control of the boxing crew of a Formula 1 Team and have to ensure as short and optimal Pit stops as possible during the Races. To do this, you hire different crew members, each with their own Character Values such as Strength, running speed and co. Between races you can also send them to Training to make them fitter for certain Jobs such as Tyre Changes or Refuelling.
So Far so good, then all that follows on the Race Weekend is quite a Murks. You have to remember all The Names of your Crew to know which of the Types you have now made a tyre Changer or Tank Keeper, because during the Races you can no longer retrieve the Values of the People who stand around in the Area completely unsorted and obviously hardly do it anyway Impact has which Type to send to which position.
Watching The Course Of the race is also very desolate, you can see the different Driver Symbols driving around in a circle on a small map, whereby the own driver can do absolutely nothing at the Beginning of the game and also likes to drive 2-3 Laps behind the rest of the Field. This can also be due to the wrong Maturation, because you can choose between different Types: From soft to Hard to rain. There are also regular Displays in the Game About Weather changes, only whether these Are announcements "in 10 Minutes it starts to rain" or whether that means it rains from now on it does not become clear to me.
I gave the Game a fair chance to get kind of excited in 2 Hours of Play, but was left behind with unmotivating Game concept, poor explanation of the Content And near zero Gameplay.
