![]() There is a less-elaborate version of Motorsport Manager on mobile devices though. Having to manage the physical facilities sim-city style is interesting but compared to the high tension in-race strategy aspect of the game, planning out buildings and creating theme parks near the HQ to earn money kind of falls flat at times.įinally, I really wish this game was on consoles. Making the calls during races is the most exciting part of this game to me and what I think will be the hook for many fans. I would also criticize that there perhaps might be too much to manage in this game. I would have really liked to be able to take on the role of Mercedes AMG PETRONAS team manager trying to control the rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. ![]() The game is very closely modeled after F1 however the team names and such are all imaginary. Probably the biggest downside to Motorsport Manager is that they do not have official licensing from any actual racing series. The game isn’t perfect though and it does have its problems, though to me they aren’t totally deal breakers but that may be different for you. You can also nurture new talent coming up through the ranks and even poach drivers away from other teams! Motorsport Manager gives you the freedom to be as maniacal as you want (which I love). Before you ask, yes you can hire and fire drivers. Also, once in a race there is something of a “fast forward” button that speeds up the action in case you get tired of watching tiny open wheel cars race around. While the concept was pretty daunting to me at first, after a while I felt myself on the edge of my computer chair wondering just how the choices I made would play out before the race was over.īy the way, the race lengths can chosen in the menus. Even if you aren’t big on sims the motorsport aspect will pull you in as well. If you are a fan of AI simulators (sims) and motorsports then you will absolutely love this game. Tire strategy, fuel strategy, pit stop management, all of that is up to you and you watch it all unfold from a bird’s eye view with a cool “tilt shift” effect (which can be turned on in the game’s video options). This game literally gives you the chance to make those decisions in a simulated environment. How many times have you watched an F1 race and thought “they should have changed tires sooner” or “they should have given the new parts to the other driver”. It seems over whelming at first given just how many decisions players can make inside and outside of a race but luckily there is a great tutorial feature which walks through all the different variables that players can control during a race. While I am a traditionalist when it comes to racing games, I have to say that I had a lot of fun playing Motorsport Manager. Players not only manage the physical facilities of their team, they also have to manage sponsorships, staff, drivers, and of course racing strategy. Imagine a game like SIM City but all about racing and that is close to what you get with Motorsport Manager. ![]() The new Motorsport Manager game published by SEGA aims to give players a taste of what its like to manage nearly all aspects of a pro-level racing team. A lot of important decisions need to be made during a race that all have a massive impact on the possible results. However, I think a lot of casual observers don’t realize how much happens behind the scenes of a top level motorsports team to keep them competitive. That element is part of what makes motorsports exciting to watch. There is a lot of pressure to perform and you’re competing against the best drivers in the world all while trying not to die as you drive as fast as possible. I imagine that being an F1 driver can be a stressful job. ![]()
