It's enough to add a deliciously devious undercurrent to the spreadsheet management that governs so much else of Motorsport Manager, and alongside the balancing of egos that's required when dealing with drivers it makes for a strategy game with a pleasingly human edge. Within that, in your position on the GMA - the association that overlooks the running of the sport - you're invited to vote on rule changes for coming seasons, lobbying for regulations that would work in your team's favour and introducing a little politics into Motorsport Manager's depiction of a sport that is often dominated by them. In Motorsport Manager you're given the choice between three championships, all with their own distinct rulesets - some with reversed grids, some with spec parts meaning development is frozen on certain car components, and all with different calendars and teams. Balancing books can be a nightmare, though - I spent all of my career deep in the red. Sponsor slots can be swapped out, and each comes with their own objectives and payouts. There are factories to manage, car developments to invest in and drivers to scout, but what's brilliant about Motorsport Manager is how it casts its net a little further afield. You'll find it in colourful asides - the frenzied and comically pained radio communications of your drivers as they question your strategy takes obvious and enjoyable inspiration from the petulant histrionics of current F1 drivers - or in the options you're afforded when managing your team. The detail in Motorsport Manager is exquisite, and born from a real passion for the sport.

It gets a large part of the way there, which is no small feat for what's still a young studio. This Motorsport Manager is an all-new beast, retooled completely with the help and expertise of Sega while looking to achieve the same level of depth and complexity of the publisher's long-running Football Manager series. West and his studio Playsport Games have overhauled everything completely to the point where it's unrecognisable - making comparisons between the two is like trying to find the similarities between the GT300 Prius and the run-down minicab that just dropped you off home. The Motorsport Manager name might be familiar from Guildford developer Christian West's earlier iOS outing, though it's worth throwing away any preconceptions if you've experience of the 2014 game. Motorsport Manager, when conquered, is as satisfying and rewarding as any more action-oriented racing games. The 7th place that follows might not quite be the stuff that legends are made of, but such small achievements won through incredible effort are enough to make heroes of us all. Which makes any successes all the sweeter - investing time to dial into the circuit over a practice session, working with drivers' feedback to fine-tune settings while reading track conditions to execute the perfect strategy as you storm to a points finish. Races are relatively brief, as - unfortunately - are practice sessions, meaning you have limited time to dial in your cars. Motorsport Manager shows that life at the tail-end of the grid can be utterly miserable. It's disappointment that comes at great cost, your travel expenses, staff outgoings and everyday operating costs pushing you further and further into the red.

Spend the weeks in the run-up to a race scouting then assigning staff to research, develop and build a new front wing, then hand it over to your number one driver to reap the benefits only to see it fail in the dying stages of a race, the 8th place that was essential to meeting your sponsor's targets slipping out of reach.

It's about crashing out in your final ever home grand prix, coasting to a halt within minutes of a surefire victory in a 24 hour race or frittering away thousands of your own hard-earned cash for the unsung glory of a midfield finish it's the heartbreak that defines the sport, and it's something that's central to Motorsport Manager's depiction of it. Maybe it's not where you'll find the bulk of the appeal, but it's certainly a massive part of the reality. An exquisite eye for detail and a nerdish passion for the sport makes this a fine foundation that's slightly undone by a handful of flaws.ĭisappointment is an inherent part of motorsport.
