Organizations & Team Management

The Organization dashboard is where team operations are managed.

Once you are part of an organization, this is the area that controls nearly everything related to running a team:

• cars
• drivers under contract
• race assignments
• sponsorships
• finances
• member permissions
• organization information

If you are only thinking of the system from the driver side, the Organization dashboard can feel overwhelming at first. The easiest way to understand it is to think of it as the command center for everything the team owns and manages.

What an Organization Contains

An organization is more than just a team name.

In this system, an organization can include:

• multiple members
• multiple cars
• multiple contracts
• team sponsorship operations
• organization-level and car-level finances

This means one organization can have several moving parts working at the same time.

Before Using the Organization Dashboard

Before the Organization dashboard becomes useful, make sure the following are true:

1. You are a member of an organization.
2. That organization is active.
3. Your member role includes the permissions needed for the tool you are trying to use.

If you are not part of an organization yet, you will need to either:

• join one through a contract
• or create one yourself through the ownership application flow

If You Belong to More Than One Organization

If your account belongs to multiple active organizations, the top bar of the dashboard will show an Organization Selector.

That selector changes what team you are currently looking at.

This is important because all of the tabs under the Organization dashboard depend on the currently selected organization.

If something looks missing, always confirm first that you are on the correct organization.

The Organization Dashboard Tabs

The Organization dashboard is broken down into the following sections:

• Overview
• Cars
• Contracts
• Free Agency
• Sponsorships
• Finances
• Staff
• Organization Info

Each tab handles a different part of team ownership and management.

Overview

The Overview tab is the best place to start if you want a quick status check on your team.

This page shows your organization at a glance, including:

• organization name
• your role
• organization level and XP
• team status
• location
• manufacturer
• member count
• finance summary
• short summaries of cars and staff

If you are not sure where to go next, start here.

Cars

The Cars tab is where your team’s active entries live.

This page shows your current cars and is also where you:

• purchase new cars
• review existing cars
• open the race assignment board for a car

This is one of the most important tabs for organization owners because it connects directly to contracts, race assignments, and sponsorships.

Purchasing Cars

If you have permission to manage cars, you will see the Purchase New Car section.

When purchasing a car, the system currently expects:

• the series
• the car number
• the car type

Right now, chartered is the active path for car creation.

The page also shows how many active cars already exist in each series so you can see whether additional space is available.

Why Cars Matter

Without a car, your organization cannot do the rest of the actual racing workflow.

Cars are what connect your team to:

• contracts
• race assignments
• sponsorships
• car-level finances

Contracts

The Contracts tab is where the organization manages driver contracts.

This includes:

• building new offers
• reviewing organization-side offers
• tracking active contracts
• handling counter offers

From the organization side, this is where you decide who you want driving for the team and under what terms.

It is important to remember that signing the contract is not the same thing as assigning the driver to a car for races. After a contract is accepted, you still need to use the race assignment system.

Free Agency

The Free Agency tab is the team’s scouting and recruiting surface.

This page allows you to review drivers who are available and filter them in a more focused way.

Current uses include:

• searching for available drivers
• filtering by series
• filtering by free agency status
• sorting the driver pool

This page is most useful when your organization needs a driver for:

• a new car
• a replacement contract
• a part-time ride

Sponsorships

The Sponsorships tab is where your team handles sponsor operations.

This includes:

• reviewing sponsor offers
• filling primary, secondary, and tertiary slots
• checking sponsor relationships
• making emergency sponsorship calls when needed

This area is heavily tied to race assignments. If your drivers are not properly assigned to the correct cars and races, sponsorship behavior can feel off.

If sponsorships look weaker or stranger than expected, always verify race assignments before assuming the sponsor system is wrong.

Finances

The Finances tab is where the team’s money is reviewed.

The platform separates finance into two scopes:

• Organization Account
• Car Accounts

That separation is intentional.

Organization Account

The organization account is for team-wide financial activity.

This is where you can expect to review broader team money that is not tied to a specific car.

Car Accounts

Each car can also have its own financial account.

These are used for car-level money and activity, which is important because not all race and sponsorship income belongs to the same place.

This split helps make the financial simulation more realistic and also allows permissions to be granted more precisely.

Staff

The Staff tab is where organization members are reviewed and managed.

This includes:

• reviewing the current team members
• checking their role
• updating permissions for non-owner members

This page is especially important once you start bringing more people into your team structure.

Permissions

The system supports both:

• organization-wide permissions
• car-scoped permissions

That means a team member may be allowed to help with only one part of the organization, or only one specific car.

This is why two members in the same organization may see different tools.

Organization Info

The Organization Info tab is where you manage the identity and ownership controls for the team.

This includes:

• organization name
• manufacturer
• shop city
• shop state / province
• region display

This page also contains the highest-level owner actions.

Dissolve Organization

This is an owner-only action.

Dissolving an organization is a serious change. It is not just hiding the team from view. It affects the organization’s structure and current operation state.

Because of that, the page requires explicit confirmation before it will proceed.

Transfer Ownership

This is also owner-only.

Ownership transfer is request-based. The current owner chooses a recipient, and the transfer does not complete until that request is accepted.

This helps protect organizations from accidental ownership changes.

The Difference Between Organization-Level and Car-Level Work

One of the most important ideas in this system is the split between:

• organization-wide management
• car-specific management

Examples of organization-wide work:

• ownership transfer
• member permissions
• organization info updates
• organization account finances

Examples of car-specific work:

• race assignments
• car-level sponsorships
• car finances

If you are ever unsure where to go, ask yourself:

Is this about the whole team, or one specific car?

That question will usually point you to the correct place.

Recommended Way to Use the Organization Dashboard

For most owners and managers, this is the cleanest order to work through the Organization dashboard:

1. Start on Overview to get your bearings.
2. Go to Cars to confirm what entries the team currently has.
3. Use Contracts and Free Agency to make sure the right drivers are under contract.
4. Use Race Assignments from the Cars tab to place those drivers into specific cars and races.
5. Move to Sponsorships to review offers for those properly assigned cars.
6. Check Finances after major actions and after races.
7. Use Staff and Organization Info when you need to update member access or team settings.

That workflow matches the way the plugin is currently structured.

Common Issues

I do not see the Organization tools I expected

Make sure:

1. you are in the correct organization context
2. your membership is active
3. your role includes the right permissions

This is usually a permissions or organization-selection issue.

I can see the organization, but not cars, finances, or sponsor tools

That usually means your account does not currently have permission for those subsystems.

The organization may still be working correctly. You are just not in a role that can manage that area.

I expected my team to be race-ready after creating it

Creating an organization only creates the team container.

You still need to:

• purchase a car
• sign a driver
• assign that driver to races
• review sponsors

Until those steps are completed, the organization is not fully race-ready.

Final Reminder

The Organization dashboard is where your team stops being an idea and starts functioning like an actual race operation.

If you plan to own, manage, or operate cars in this system, this will become one of your most-used parts of the dashboard.
