Fast car fiddler Motorsport Manager has a new expansion that adds 6-hour endurance races, announced Playsport Games. These require swapping out your tired drivers for fresh-eyed speedsters mid-race. Of course, this is a management sim and the fast forward button is there to be used. But the new race lengths of 90 mins, 3 hours and 6 hours are designed to give you a new…
The full version of Motorsport Manager [official site] is free to play until Monday, giving plenty of time to check out Sega's first foray into being a carboss. Our Adam's a Football Manager fan and quite enjoyed his time with the PC adapatation of Playsport's racecar management sim, so you might fancy a crack too.
I love Motorsport Manager [official site] even though I don't know an exhaust flange from a dipstick. It's easy to learn, doesn't demand I bring a load of technical knowledge to the pits and it's about human characters as much as cars and cash. News that DLC adding a GT series, with two divisions, is coming next Wednesday is exciting then, not because I know…
Modding support has arrived in Motorsport Manager [official site], letting sportsdads fiddle with the game's guts in many ways. Perhaps you'll replace car models with real Formula 1 vehicles. Or create obscene liveries. Or replace videos with cats being cute or some serious Formula 1 cutscenes. Or... a pleasing amount can be changed, and I imagine folks will soon crack on with some fairly expansive…
Motorsport Manager [official site] made its first appearance on PC last month as Sega slipped cars without football into their management sim portfolio next to football without cars. Our Adam wasn't as taken with it as he is Football Manager, though he says that's likely because he's more into kicking. But hey, the game will soon welcome a wider potential audience as an update this…
Feature: A winning formula?
The sponsors won't pay out if at least one of my two drivers doesn't finish in the top six. There are six laps to go and Mustafa El Sadat, my best hope, is in fourth place, and far enough behind the three leaders that it doesn't seem sensible to adopt an aggressive strategy. If he can maintain his current pace, he should be able to…
Sega are expanding their portfolio of sports management games again this year, slipping the non-footballing cars of Motorsport Manager [official site] in alongside their iced hockey sim, carless football sim, and copy of The Beano they covertly read during conference calls. Our Adam has enjoyed what his time managing an (off-brand) Formula 1 racing team in previews, and soon we'll be allowed a crack. November…
Feature: Driven to distraction
Motorsport Manager [official site] is about people as well as their cars. While you can spend time tinkering with the setup of the vehicles to some degree, all of your engineering and design work will come to nothing if your team can't stand one another, and don't understand their roles. As a person with little interest in cars wot go fast, I wasn't sure this…
Sega are expanding their line of sports management games beyond ice hockey, kickyball, and Waaagh! to include racecars too. Today Sega announced Motorsport Manager, a PC spin-off from the pocket telephone game of the same name by Playsport Games. Honestly, I do question defining this as sport, considering that the cars have to do all the running - the so-called 'sportsplayer' just sits on the…
