Sep 27, 2024Golden Lap is a refined sports simulation experience that is full of tension and drama. I loved the addictive gameplay, but I cursed the developers for their cruel approach. Anything can happen as the season unfolds. Consequently, you will be kept on your toes throughout.

Sep 30, 2024Golden Lap is an addictive racing sim that has plenty of strategical elements for such a stripped back experience, making it fun to play.

Sep 27, 2024If the stress and time investment of F1 Manager games put you off of them but you still want the thrill of leading a motorsport team to victory by racing on familiar tracks with familiar sounding corners and landmarks and familiar teams and drivers then Golden Lap does enough right to make this a top choice.

Sep 26, 2024Overall, the release version of Golden Lap, even with those couple of areas where it could be better, is still very much the game I enjoyed in a short burst earlier in the year. It knows exactly what it wants to deliver, and does so in the wonderfully characterful manner that’s come to define Funselektor’s games and help them stand out from the racing crowd. Without giving you an actual whiff of the petrol fumes, properly deafening you with engine roar from behind the wheel or offering you a mouthful of podium bubbly, it manages to capture the spirit of what it depicts, and with a few tweaks, its pull could be even more irresistible.

Oct 22, 2024A largely straightforward motorsport management game with a distinct visual style, Golden Lap manages to offer tactical race simulation with off-the-track drama in a minimalist package. It may not satisfy hardcore petrolheads, but for slightly more relaxed race enjoyers, it’s a fine sim experience.
