Of course, pit time is counted into total race time, and fans of Formula 1 racing will know: taking an extra second to fuel up a car might be the difference between 1st place and 5th. One of the first things the game teaches you is the pit stop – on any lap, you can call your drivers into the pit where they can have their tyres changed, their car refuelled and their damaged parts serviced. ![]() The game is presented from a top-down point of view, which begins to make sense after a few races are under your belt: you’re expected to make a lot of key decisions in each race to ensure your drivers end up on top. With each course rendered carefully to reflect the track’s real world location, the races themselves look fantastic and really draw the player into the action. The racing graphics have taken a sharp bump in quality from Playsport’s smartphone origins. Once you’re satisfied with fine-tuning your cars and your drivers, it’s time to head to race day. You’ll spend a lot of time in these menus customising your cars, maintaining a good relationship with your drivers and reading emails from fans and competitors. With a simple black design and tabs for each department within your racing company, the menu screen looks a lot like commercial business management software rather than a game. One of the most striking visual choices Playsport takes with Motorsport Manager is its graphics style. While the smartphone game felt like a streamlined, portable experience, Motorsport Manager for the PC is a title which encourages long play sessions and some serious overthinking. There have been significant amounts of content added, from tracks, strategic options and scenarios – so much so that it’s better to consider the PC release as a separate release by itself. Playsport’s Motorsport Manager first saw release on iOS and Android two years ago, but don’t be fooled into assuming this PC release is just a dolled up port. Fans of the sport will delight in Motorsport Manager’s eye for detail, but there’s so much customisation available that I’m sure this game will satisfy the hardcore strategy market as well. Motorsport Manager is a complex game, with lots of strategic decisions offered to players while still being fairly accessible to newcomers. Developer Playsport Games and publisher SEGA have crafted a veritable empire in the sports management genre, spanning Football, Hockey, and now competitive racing. Most developers would dread to have someone say their gameplay “feels like work”, but the opposite is true regarding any manager simulator. ![]()
