Motorsport Manager for Android
This racing SIM is absolutely superb. The graphics are just right. The menus are clear and uncluttered. I love the fake in game tweets, messages etc that sponsors, fans etc send your racing team. I really felt like I was running a motorsports team, from the car development tall the way up to expansion of the complex and even the strategy during racing. This game is so good I am definitely going to purchase the upcoming pc version. Proud to play a U.K. developed game of this quality.
This is really impressive. The game totally emerges you in the excitement and tension of racing. Graphics during racing is pretty good for a phone, and even so more effective: you really have the feeling there's a race going on their. Looking forward to further updates and what they might bring. Driver development in trainings (and decline towards the end of their career)…?
What else can I say, being a racing fanatic this game is perfect to me. As long you understand the game and strategize perfectly, you wont be dissappointed. I even deleted my sim city app because of this addictive game. Btw as of this review Im on the continental super cup winning like hell, saving up some money for upgrading my HQ and wages for my 2 drivers with 99 overall. Thanks you Christian West for this game. Cheers from the Philippines!
I don't typically purchase games or write reviews but this game gets both. I purchased it late yesterday afternoon and was sucked in for hours after. The graphics are great and it gives multiple options on how you can build and run your team. I'm already thinking about things I want to do for long term with my team. Definitively worth every penny. And I have already got the PC version wishlisted for its release as well. Thanks for making such a great management simulator.
A lot of minor things need to be tweaked. For example someone comments about my HQ looks like from ww2 despite having level 8 buildings. Also the dilemma part where we choose which group we want to make happy even if both group have 100% happiness. But overall it's a very good game, good details, really love it.
Some issues need to be addressed. Timer is set to 1/2 seconds and not a full second. Asking who you should make happy should not take away from others. Cars on worn soft tires out running cars on wet tires while in stormy/heavy rain conditions is just a bit on the bull sh*t side. Fix these simple issues and get 5 stars easy.
No option to force a save of your progress. Started playing on phone, switched to tablet and loaded the saved game from the cloud storage. Tried going back to phone and game was several hours behind. Went to load the saved game and it only showed the older file which I used when I switched to my tablet!?! So much for being able to play on multiple devices as they claim.
This isn't a "freemium" title where you'll grind or come back to it every two hours to make sure some mundane task happens. This is an active management game that is exciting during races (pick the tires, strategies, builds) and behind (factory upgrades, staff, media). It covers a lot of bases and worth the tiny price. Beside my old chess game on Windows CE, this is my favorite cell game. The ads are seen only if you choose to look at them to buy more in game money. You won't need it and they aren't bad.
Top job over Xmas, TV was lacking this wasn't! Be great to see some more features, perhaps making races longer and qualifying a little more technical. Introduction of suspension set up and track condition could be cool. The amount of stuff to start off with as a new person is just right though. May put others off being too complex. Hope this helps!
The first review I've written for something on the Play store, if you've ever wanted to be an F1 team boss, this is the game for you. Start your way off in regional single seater series and work up to F1. Deal with driver issues,sponsors, weather changes, Safety Car periods and so on. One of the very few mobile games I've enjoyed. Recommended to any motorsport fan, especially F1. And it's coming to PC and Mac in September with new features! Can't wait.
It is a really great game. If you don't buy money it takes a lot of thinking and good strategy to get your car to the front. The only thing that could make it better is if they added a practice to the game before qualifying to give it a more realistic feel and more track time to work on settings over the races would make it better. As well as adding prize money for where you finish in the races and titles.
I find the sim to be a complete package shunning away from 3d graphics, of which populate the majority of the racing games in the store. Well worth the money and effort. Would like to see a major update(although not needed). Kept me in it for weeks!
Amazing, the best formula racing game available. Great racing mechanics, in depth car development and good stratagy im race. There is plenty of content and you really feel great when you win. Its incredible. But if there could be improvements, i'd say, instead of dots, have actual cars (dosnt worry me to much but it would top it off) but maybe as well, have a practise session or a longer qualy session (maybe like Q1, Q2, Q3). One thing that would be really good is the ability to name your own driver or your young driver. One thing i really would like more than anything else is the ability to cuatomize your car from a range of chasis or front wings. But all in all, i have no regrets playing this game. A brilliant piece of engineering.
Makes you think, instead of you doing the racing. Wish it did have a save button, due to work demands. Would also be nice if contract drivers improved or got degraded from race 2 race. Young drivers need bigger increases over time, no need to get them if you just hire more experienced drivers. Other than that, WELL DONE!
Solid game and us super fun with a really nice progression. Everything is just super smooth and slick, it's very refreshing to see on a mobile platform. Game has in app purchases, but they don't actually help you progress that much, and you can easily do without them which is also refreshing in an age of freemium pay to win.
Only changes I can see that would make this a better experience is driver stats to change over time eg experience vs youth. Maybe a training centre for current drivers and head of departments to help improve stats. Currently drivers and head of departments go redundant each season but it would be great to build them up as the team improves
I can't believe how good this is. I will say this taking the full responsibility for every word. This is by far the best mobile gaming experience I ever came across, and we're talking a lot of years here. I love this game already, and I'm suggesting it to everyone even remotely interested in racing. This is the benchmark for every future racing/manager game. Bowing down to developers. Update: How about finally giving us some update, as it's soon to be two years since last one. More tracks, improved graphics, improved performance, more tactic options, etc etc, there is much room for improvement.
I love it ! Great game. Well designed and developed. The tactics are important and you can see after a while how you change certain things in your strategy. It's not to easy nor to hard. You'll see yourself struggle at some point. You'll find a way out and have a lot of fun with the game. In game money purchase is not needed to win. If you want to support the guy buy some. I had a few wishes for future updates or a sequel but it's great how it is now.
You are literally the manager of a 2 driver team with the responsibility of deciding car set up, when to pit, what tyres to run depending on weather, hiring, negotiating sponsorship, and more. The audio is great/lends to good atmosphere. The visuals are satisfying and I am glad they race for 20+ laps and not just like 5 or something. Also lots of venues. For a F1 tablet game it is VERY cool and original. Love the live timing mode. It's obvious a lot of effort has gone into this project. Well worth the 30p!
Find the best setup, develop a pit strategy. Will you reach the sponsor's target? Will you break even after the season? What do you want/need to invest in? Only needs more investment options and maybe possibility to shut down young driver program. Nonetheless, a great game and I don't regret buying it.
I love everything about this game, entertaining, addictive and I can lose hours playing! I have a question for the developer though - I have just changed phones, and I have been trying to transfer my profile to my new phone by playing and then uploading my progress from Google Play Games. However I can't manually save my game progress on the old device and transfer the progress to the new one. Could you tell me how I can do this, as otherwise I will need to start all over again on my new device (and I'm nearing the end of the game!) Thanks, and keep up the great work!
This game is far too addictive! For any motorsports fan, this game is a must have. It gives a small taate of what is involved in running a team. You are responsible for contract negotiations, fonding sponsors, hiring and firing drivers and engineers and overall race strategies. A bit of everything. Very well done!
A really well designed sim - who knew watching little dots race around a track could be so much fun? The tiers of racing, the sponsors, car manufacturing - it's all very good. A bit more detail in the design process might be nice, but it's very user friendly as it is. The racing does seem to be a bit luck based, and does have a few problems. The main one, as others have mentioned, is the wet weather not affecting the AI very much. I've seen on multiple races the AI racing on hard tires as well as my driver on wets. Not being able to see options for drivers or managers before you toss the current one is a small issue as well. Overall, very good.
This game is really good. It requires some attention, which is what makes the strategy of playing this game so enjoyable. Hopefully in the future there will be more types of motorsports integrated, Such as nascar, go karts (for the younger driver program within the game), and maybe even endurance racing where you actually have to worry about fuel and not just tires.
I'm a big F1 fan and I am absolutely loving this game! Great fun, not overly complicated (to the keen fan anyway...) yet enough detail there to get you interested, would definitely recommend! £1.99 VERY well spent.
Motorsport manager is an amazing strategic racing game. The game had great debt with hours of fun! Some of the races can get a bit long however. Keep that in mind if you only have time to play in small bursts. Overall 8,5/10 worth every penny!
Great game. Perfect for every occasion like pooping or waiting for your GF at the shopping mall. Very helpful hints. Detailed and meaningful stats. Lots of action both on and off track. Noninvasive in app purchase. Fun and meaningful fake social media posts. Simply one of the best race team management game. I even enjoy this more than Grand Prix World. 5/5 Just buy it already!
I've spent way too much free time with this app. My wife has been getting mad at me. My only complaint about this game is some of the tracks look like the real track while others have zero in common with the real one. I live in Toronto and the track used for Toronto looks nothing like what is used in real life. It would be nice if this could be fixed.
There are few arbitrary mechanics(/and lack of few) that make little sense or lack enough depth for them to feel that they have place in the game. I am in particular talking about "which party should you favour?" I would understand it better if there was some text to explain just why I had to pick fans over drivers (or drivers over fans/etc). I just feel that it was just there to create extra tension/annoyance once a player is doing well. Something that could have been done in a more intuitive fashion.
Absolutely amazing game, but in an update could you put in more dialogue, for example i failed my main sponsers task to finish 1st although i did grab 2nd and 3rd, afterwards it said they signed on for a winning team not a team of losers? Wtf, i still did good although i didnt make there requirements for that race
Aside from chewing through battery life a little more than most apps, this game is solid. I wish more management sims of this calibre existed on Android. Best one I've played. I'm not even a big race fan, but this game has me hooked from the start. We'll done devs.
This just might be the best mobile game I've played to date. Extremely addictive, and very intuitive. Most of the time I get burned out after playing a mobile game for a few days. This one has grabbed my attention and I can't put it down.
If you are gonna "win it all" in this game, you better be good with managing multiple areas at once. I do wish drivers you don't promote from the youth program, could go on to compete against you for another team, and that after the youth program, drivers would continue to get better skill-wise. But this is a great game, download now!
This is a perfectly balanced and immersive game. Not over technical, and not simplistic either. All the major variables are in, and your attention and decisions really matter. The social media "feed" is also a really nice and contemporary touch! Graphics and interface are frankly stunning. Just wish some of the opponent drivers (especially those who beat me) from a previous season could carry over to the next so I have a chance to beat them the next time! 100% recommended.
I admit, this is a good game. It takes no time for me to download and pay for it. But if you want to advance your game in this game, you need money to build factory and hire people. It needs even more money to pay their sallary and all expenses. You cant survived from Money that you earned from this game alone. Im tired to pay for it. At some point i will stop playing it. And it's near.
Enjoying the game, but I do have one question. How does one restore ingame purchases if you reset the game in options? Thank you. EDIT: Do the developers respond to any of the comments made here?
This not only has all the features abd gameplay you want, it even has the graphics to match.
Great game for motorsport lovers! Only thing is cars could be indicated by small car like symbols itself instead of these dots
Quite simple to understand but addictive as frak. Fortunately, not an instawin game, but it may get too easy after a few hours. Still high5*

Most simulator games are half done and bombard you with in app purchases. This game is made well. Improvements could be made with the young driver developments, ensuring young drivers continue to develop even after you hire them. But mostly a great game for a fan of motor racing. Further work would make this game even more amazing and i hope it comes. As long as there are no progression limits that mean you have to start buying in app purchases to move on or 'wait 24 hours' and all that sort of B.S
