Professional reviews from gaming critics
Motorsport Manager is a very fun and unique racing game that allows you to focus on so much more than steering and acceleration. A much more realistic racing game than one where you just drive, this game gives you the experience to see how good your driving decisions really are, and with great graphics and a easy to learn set of controls, this game is a fun addition to any gaming library.
I've spent countless hours playing Motorsport Manager over the years and the original mobile game has featured in many a session on my phone. Now the developers, Playsport Games, in partnership with SEGA, have now released an infinitely more detailed PC version. One that has caused my current predicament: at the time of writing this, I haven't slept in about 36 hours. It's a fitting addition to SEGA's portfolio of management games, along with Football Manager, but also one that's immediately more approachable. I'm not a fan of Formula 1, being more of a Moto GP person, but I'm certainly a fan ...
Most motorsport fans might think that they want to be a racing driver. Screaming at the TV on a Sunday afternoon, though, what they actually want is to be a team boss.
For strategy gaming veterans, Motorsport Manager will just feel right.

Prepare to lose the…
There are little quirks and mechanics in the game that reward the curious player. However, Motorsport Manager does a fantastic job of making the strenuous, tedious job it simulates into something much more enjoyable. It’ll soak up the best part of your afternoon, which might turn off some players. It is not perfect, but is one of the best sports management games out there right now. It really seems to have struck a chord with racing professionals and hobbyists alike, which says a lot. While each day out on the track might be end the way you want, there’s always next race day. Prep your drivers...
It's a tough game, in which I often feel like I'm grinding my way toward the top rather than discovering brilliant new tactics or innovative strategies. That makes me feel a little distant from my team, and makes this a game to play while burning through podcasts in the background rather than to focus all of my attention on, but I'm enjoying the challenge. I feel like I earn my victories and the disasters are usually my fault as well. It's hard to escape the sense that I'm always reacting, whether to the weather or the placement of a particular track on the calendar, rather than creating a tea...
