For instance, your driver may be leading the race but begins complaining of a gearbox issue with just a few laps to go. I also like the pressure of race day and the genuinely stressful situations that can arise.

I’m enjoying the delicate balancing act of keeping my drivers happy (you can only develop new parts one at a time so one driver has to miss out each time you fit a newly-built part). It’s an incredibly nuanced experience and, while it’s initially rather intimidating, Motorsport Manager has successfully got its tentacles around me after several sessions with an early version of the game. How you speak to the press can impact your drivers' morale and performances. Executing on race day strategies, which include responding to driver feedback when setting up the cars for each track, calling pit stops, selecting the right tyres, and reacting to mechanical faults and weather changes. Investing in your race team’s headquarters for improved facilities. Signing and delivering on sponsorship deals. Hiring and fostering drivers and team members. We’ve always wanted to make this and, with the mobile game doing well, it gave us an opportunity – especially when SEGA got on board – to make this game for PC.” “Ideally we would’ve made this game before the mobile version but when you’re a small studio and you’ve got restricted budgets it’s a bit unbelievable.” Motorsport Manager is an extremely deep game, allowing players to take the reins of a race team and juggle everything necessary to keep it running and earn success at the highest level. “But we motorsport fans felt that we were kind of missing out on a game that was similar. ““We felt that, when we were growing up, all the kids, everyone – was playing Football Manager,” he says.

Developed by UK-based Playsport Games, Motorsport Manager on PC is aiming to emulate the game’s success on mobile and continue carving out its own niche. Enter Motorsport Manager, which began its life on mobile in 2014 and is now headed to PC with the help of SEGA. Outside of mobile and a few obscure, browser-based titles there’s little else to speak of. Microprose released a trio of F1 management sims during the late ’90s, and EA dabbled in the genre with F1 Manager just before the turn of the century.

However, there hasn’t exactly been a glut of others over the past three decades. Indeed, Addictive Games followed up the original Football Manager with Grand Prix Manager (published on its ‘Silicon Joy’ sub-label) way back in 1984.

“While there’s no shortage of management sims built around other sports – baseball, hockey, cricket, and even professional cycling to name just a few – motor racing is one of the oldest non-football examples.
