This game is out now,

 

If you liked GPM2 or, its worse cousin GPW, - you WILL LOVE this game, it is fantastic, a true successor to Grand Prix Manager 2! :clap:

Can we edit the driver's name to the real life F1 drivers?

What makes this game as great as GPM2? That game has so many good memories I don't want to spoil it by expecting something like it.  :yawnface:

It is surprisingly good. There are quite a few things that clearly are there due to this originally being a one-man made mobile game, but an amazing platform to build on, and far far better than any of the RTL or Racing Manager games!
There are some things that GPM/GPW did better, but I would say there are aspects of this game that is clearly better as well.

 

Editor are apparently planned for the game.

Like everyone else has already stated, this game is excellent and MILES ahead of anything that has been released since GPM2. 

 

There are a few little tweaks that could be made to make it even better but as a base to work on going forward I am very excited to finally have a Motorsport Management game of this quality at long last.

Sweet.

To be honest, I'm not too fussed about real names - yet.

When I get good enough not to be sacked halfway through a season, I'll install this mod, and play a season from the start.

Thanks for the link - I've snagged it now, just in case I get inspiration.

great game imo

 

If it had a name editor, colour selector for livery and upload advert logos facility, and I would not leave my house

Having read Ross Brawn and Adam Parr's Total Competition book, it helps me to understand the strategy that they used in managing real life F1 team while playing the game...

Is nobody else playing this game? I got it about a week ago at 25% discount and have been pretty much hooked ever since. As a first incarnation it's not completely without faults, but it's proving an excellent way to get us through the F1 off season period. The reviews and comments I've read are pretty good too, so I would have imagined it to have a decent audience here on this forum too...

I bought it on the Steam sale, but haven't gotten around to try it yet (bought a few other games too, and have had a full schedule during the holidays, so almost no time to try the games i bought :) 

 

Hope to try it out during the weekend though

I picked it up a few weeks ago along with f1 206. Am switching back and forth between the two games. It really a really fun game, enjoying it a lot. Just finished my second season with ZRT in the bottom tier.

Season one finished with a bang for Predator in the Euro series with two consecutive wins from its new driver, attracted earlier in the year. The Monza win was just a great display of race pace and tyre conservation although we were lucky to hold out near the end. The final race we were lying in 8th before the final pit stop when I was first to realise the rain would stop so moving to a two-stop allowing us to push the tyres and finish on softs, which ultimately gave us the win, and another top 10 finish for driver #2. Since the last race in Euro has double points that result catapulted us from a hopeless 10th to a very respectable 7th in the constructors' championship. Now in pre-season preparing for a hopefully even better season 2.

The game itself for me strikes a great balance between long term management sim and race weekend tactical suspense. Loving it so far!

Slowly building my way into world domination with Predator Racing. It's really good fun

Loving this game, I have a cast covering my hand atm so I can't play any racing games but this is giving me my race fix in a different sort of way.

You can now create your own team, that update is free. There is also a GT expansion but it costs around $10 (CDN).

 

Addicted to this game.

Popping in to say that the quarantine period due to COVID-19 has got me playing Motorsport Manager Mobile 3 after I got it for free from the iOS App Store a year ago.

 

Insanely addictive. I've been through 9 seasons in the last two weeks–I love how intuitively easy it is to pick up and play. Climbed up through all the feeder series to 'World Motorsport' on my first run each time and won the drivers' championship in my second year with Canadian driver Lucy Lavoie whom I plucked from sportscars. Won the constructors' the next year but lost the drivers', then got a double the next season with a 1-2 in all 12 races on hard mode, at which point I decided to invest all of my stored-up funds in things I didn't need to make the game more challenging–no pay to win here, either! :lol:

 

The game is lots of fun but does have a few flaws, namely that spamming the ERS button makes any driver go ridiculously fast, even on 0% dry tyres on a wet circuit in fuel conserve mode. I had to set the ERS to be driver controlled to make it 'more realistic'.

 

I tried the 'Motorsport Manager Online' version and it was absolute crap, designed to be pay-to-win with no offline career mode or ability to race against your own friends without going online. Oh well. I suppose they had a good run.

 

If the editor ever goes on sale I'll have to get it.

Of course it has no offline mode as it is a purely online game.

 

Not sure about the P2W either. I got a avg. position of 2.8 there, and not used a single bit of money on it.

Grand Prix World was epic!

I'm part of a community which has been updating the game to run on modern machinery & season mods. :cool:

Motorsport Manager is a very good effort, but just seems to be missing something - I can't quite put my finger on what exactly. 

Some of the mods make the game a little better, but it's still not quite got the grasp of the genre like GPM/GPW did.

So... are you a part of the GPM2World Discord? :D

It was never meant to be a hardcore manager-game in the GPM/GPW sense. Just too bad they never got the funding to do Motorsport Manager 2 PC before F1 got their own deal :(

Yes I am. 

 

and well, if it wasn't meant to be a hardcore manager game, I am afraid that they totally missed the concept of the genre! MM2 would have been more of the same, hopefully this F1 deal will produce a good and modern management game.

Based on the sales-numbers, they far from missed it.

 

I mean, I don't disagree with you in terms of MM missing a few essential things, and having other game-choices that felt, and feels a bit weird. Also, I go back and play GPM2 quite often, that doesn't happen with MM. However, I do see the reason why they did what they did. I may, or m may not, be a part of a potential future management-game, and I'm surprised of the number of times I've had to accept that, in fact, I have to go against some of my purist views to get to something that more people enjoy.

 Thankfully, I don't judge games on sales numbers! :)
