    Just finished the tutorial which is already enough to give a firstlook, since it includes a complete race and a walkthrough through all the menues. Overall, this took me around a hour, so it is pretty in-depth in detailed.

    I started with the second worst team, because I like the idea of making it from the bottom to the top, even though this may take some time. The missing license of original teams and drivers is not a big deal and once this game gets modding support, thanks to Steam Workshop, this may change.

    I'd like to create a Pro/Cons list, but even without wearing fanboy glasses, I don't have any Cons in mind so far. But this could change over time. Maybe the game gets boring fast or hilariously unrealistic. Who knows. If that's the case, I'll edit this review.

    But for now, the game runs perfectly fine for me without any issues on max details with locked 60fps (no need to cry here. You seriously don't need those 200fps). You can really feel polish under your nails when scratching over the games surface. The overview doesn't suffer from all those menues like in EAs FM games (at least for beginners). The "controls" in a live race are pretty simple and easy to understand. Graphics look great for this a simulator game.

    I love it so far and will hopefully be able to make enough money to build a wall in front of Mexi.. to beat "Mercedes"!    … Expand

    This game is A-W-E-S-O-M-E ! Lack of licences? Woman drivers and mechanics? It doesn't matter at all, because gameplay is brilliant, you'll spend hours researching and scouting. Real-time races aren't boring anymore, AI is pretty competitive. Lags and freezes? NO, but the graphics is nice. Sounds are authentic, like in A-class games, really.

    Price is bit high and it need some minor interface changes.

    The best Racing car manager game! For years i waiting for this!

    O melhor jogo manager de automobilismo dos últimos anos! Eu e tantos outros estávamos a espera de um jogo como esse, o último bom era de 2000, 16 anos de espera, uma vida. Agora eu espero que possam dar continuidade a este magnifico game. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores.

    I LOVE THIS GAME!

    Sin ningún tipo de dudas nos encontramos ante el mejor juego de gestión del año, con un nivel de detalle en todos y cada uno de sus apartados digno de elogio. No es un juego fácil, pero tampoco injusto, y llega incluso a ser bastante inmersivo competir contra las escuderías rivales o siendo fiel a la nuestra, creando nuestra propia historia.

    I have 40 hours experience in this game and I am very happy to find a game which gives me an opportunity to create, manage and compete with a motor sport team.

    I am a big fan of Formula 1, thanks to steam workshop, I can find Formula 1 add-on and apply it to the game. I can not find any cons for this game.

    1) It is not an expensive game. It is reasonable and affordable price.
    2) Graphics... It is a manager-like game but you can watch the entire competition between teams and drivers.
    3) It is player based game. That means, you can control everything what you want, e.g. fuel, tires, morals, contracts, buildings, cars, design, etc.

    I would like to write more things about the game but I am tired to write due to there are a lot of things that should be written.

    If you like motor sports, you are not going to be regret to play this game.    … Expand

    Surprisingly great game!
    I was not expecting much from this game, thought it to be just like the soccer managers, football managers and etc., but boy was I wrong. This game is HARD!!! It puts you on the manager, position and every decision you have the last say. Every playthrough is new and failure = learning. You will never be good in your first try, but you are not supposed to, this    Surprisingly great game!

    You don't get to watch qualifiers which is a bummer and the tutorial is open this explain, click this explain and SO LONG because you really have a lot of possibilities.    … Expand

    Motorsport Manager ist ein tolles Management-Spiel, welches einen guten Mix zwischen Management und Action vorzuweisen hat. Für solch ein Spiel ist der Preis zwar relativ hoch - also im Sale zuschlagen!

    El juego no es un simulador de F1. Es la esencia de la estrategia convertida a juego.
    El gran punto negativo son los gráficos, se quema la gpu para mostrar unos gráficos muy cutres.
    Las bases del mejor manager de coches ya están sentadas, esperando con ganas su segunda parte.

    I played the mobile version of this game and was very excited about a full version being released on PC. I love formula one and motorsport and was hoping this game wasn't going to be a disappointment. It wasn't as this game is excellent. It has managed to achieve an brilliant balance of keeping the simplicity of the mobile version with enough detail to keep motorsport fans interested.

    Amazing game! The only problem is how to find more time to play it. I'm a big fan of Formula 1 and it's amazing to see how the business working from the other side.

    The greatest management of all time hands down. Even 5 years after release the great support of the community with mods has shaped this to be the most fun management game of all time. Yes, it may be old and sometimes be annoying, but when you win, it feels so good. Managing a team in the lower ranks, working your way up to F1, and dominating is the best part of the game.

Yes, it may be old and sometimes be annoying, but when you win, it feels so good. Managing a team in the lower ranks, working your way up to F1, and dominating is the best part of the game. And team management is a whole different experience. Decide what parts to build, what to improve, and hire drivers, pit crews, engineers, and others make the actual manager side of the game as fun as the race day experience where you manage your strategy, time your pit stops, and get your fuel on the dot. I 100% recommend this game, especially when it's on sale, it's a blast to play.… Expand

    Solid game if your into these types of manger games game play is very good graphics are slightly dull for the time. I would like to see them make a second one with better graphics and licensed teams and drivers but that will likely never happen. You can however add real sponsors and drivers with mods but they can be a little bit of a hassle to install the mods

    Motorsport Manager could definitely use FIA’s license and some polishing here and there but it achieves the goal of every management game – it lets you write your own success story. [01/2017, p.66]

    Motorsport Manager is an excellent simulator of a Formula 1 team, deemed heir of the elder Grand Prix Manager.
