There is the team management portion that sees you focus on drivers, sponsors and car development and the race management portion in which you are at the track and doing car engineering and race strategy.Īway from the track, you have to manage your driver lineup, setup a young drivers development program, hire engineers for car development, sign sponsors and invest in factory infrastructure. Much like proper Formula One, you need sponsorship money to keep the team going day to day in hopes of a big influx of prize money when the season ends. To get there you have to win the constructors’ championship, not the drivers’ championship, in a championship tier because the developer realized that motorsport is a team sport. Motorsport Manager gives you ownership of a new open-wheel racing team that starts at the bottom tier of motorsport in national championships and makes you work your way up to the World Grand Prix series.

It’ll be the same style of game at its core but will turn the graphics up to 11 and make some aspects of the simulation much more realistic including production of parts, rules charges, calendar changes and more. In short, MMM3 is a must-have and even those new to management games won't be left out thanks to the hand-holding tutorial aspect.This September, Motorsport Manager is coming to Steam as a rather impressive looking and much enhanced port. Even the Bernie Ecclestone-inspired Ernie Hecklerock has now been replaced by the American Chuck Collins. There's even a nice touch of humour pervading the game, found in the cliche northern headquarters builder who interchanges Geordie and Yorkshire phrases at will, the vociferous social media critic and a driver who's inevitably upset that you've favoured another driver. The new simple approach to driver progression, earning points to be used to improve stats makes the driver market an important aspect, particularly with pay drivers now available to help struggling outfits. Earned primarily through signing sponsorship deals, it can be the turning point in signing an elusive new driver.
