Mechanics
Technical aspects

Motorsport Manager is a sports manager game in which we lead a racing team and try to win a fictional version of Formula 1. This is one of the most realistic productions from this genre. The game was developed by Playsport Games under the direction of Christian West who in the past worked on such games as Geometry Wars Galaxies and Joe Danger Infinity. Initially, the game was released on handheld devices with iOS and Android systems but later a PC Windows version was also created.

Mechanics

Player's role during the races comes down to creating a general tactic and to make various decisions that will have an impact on the end results of a race. For example, a heavy rain appears suddenly during the last few laps and a player must make a choice between losing precious seconds that are spent on changing tires and the danger of using the old ones. Realism of Motorsport Manager manifests itself in that we don't get any bonuses or special abilities. Thanks to that the rivalry is very similar to what we can see during TV transmissions.

Managing your team is also important. Players can hire new drivers and technicians, research new technologies and upgrades for the racecars. Players can also spend a lot of time on finding optimal settings for the cars and create schemes for pit-stops. The economic system is the basis for all of this. It requires players to manage their budget wisely by finding a balance between income and expenses.

Technical aspects

Motorsport Manager, released on PC, AND and iOS, has good, high-resolution graphics that is especially impressive during the races. The user interface is also well made.

Cubed3: 8 / 10 by Gabriel Jones

Although Gregory Stokes hasn't managed to get his racing team out of 9th place, he still recommends that anyone who has an interest in being a Motorsport Manager to give it shot. It's a career that can be tailormade to suit anyone. All that's necessary is the right mindset. Naturally, they can't expect immediate gratification. There's also the possibility that they'll struggle to make any real progress. It does deliver a different sort of excitement, though; one that can't be found blasting alien invaders, or trading blows with a martial arts master. In the end, this is a career that revolves around setting goals and achieving them, while attempting to exceed expectations. The choices other managers make will differ from Greg's, which is what makes the experience so personalised and fulfilling.

GamingTrend: 90 / 100 by Patrick Rost

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.

Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln

Motorsport Manager for Nintendo Switch will chew you up and spit you out, but once you've learned the ways of its frighteningly deep systems and overcome its steep learning curve, there's a brilliant management sim to be found.
