The short answers, without a trip through the gravel.
Is this an official racing game?
No. Slipstream is an independent fan-made prototype. Real-world names, official team logos and sponsor marks identify the setting only; they do not imply sponsorship or endorsement. Ratings, economy values and simulated results are fictional.
Do I need an account or a download?
No installation is needed. Playing a career requires an account and an internet connection. Use Google, Discord or email and password. Guides and reference pages can be read without signing in.
Where did my save go?
Sign in with the same account to see your online career slots. Check the saving indicator before switching devices. Older browser saves can be imported once into empty cloud slots. Exported JSON backups can also be imported.
Can I manage both drivers?
Yes. Your upgrades help both cars, while driving mode and pit calls are managed per driver.
Why are races shorter than real races?
The simulation compresses race distance for shorter sessions. Calendar dates are flavour, and results do not predict real motorsport.
Can I play offline?
Starting or continuing a career requires a connection. If the connection drops during a live race, that race can continue and unsent progress is buffered locally for retry. Do not close the tab before it saves. There is no guaranteed offline installation.
