Motorsport Manager

[Meacon Keaton]

Figured I'd fire this thread up now since a preview video was released today. Looks like it's pretty much exactly what I was hoping it would be. I'm quite excited.

I saw this and was excited...then realized this wasn't stock cars

That'd be a neat game too. Most NASCAR fans don't own computers, though.

They do, it's just that it's up on blocks with the car in the yard

Or it is actually in the house, but they still have dial-up *cough*my parents*cough*

I watched part of the video. The guy has horrible pit strategy. I'm not as familiar with this type of racing but two pit stops in 3 laps is just horrible strategy.

Maybe someone will make a NASCAR mod for it.

I've been interested in this for a while, but I'm worried it will end up overwhelming me with its complexity.

Yay, about time we got a new motorsport management game. Especially since getting Grand Prix World to work on modern computers has become an unbelievable faf that requires far too much effort

This appeals to my interests

One of the guys from Greydogsoftware was creating a Stock Car Manager game a year or so ago, dunno how far along that is.

Personally i'm cautiously optimistic about the game, and I do hope it has some legs for the future because it's about time we got a new proper F1 simulator like we had back with GPM2 and GPW

I've played the mobile version of the game quite a lot and it's very fun, I had no idea it was coming out on PC though. Should be great.

Liking the looks of this. But then I've found I'll play pretty much any management sim.

Axis of Evil Motorsports?

A few youtubers gotten preview copies of the game. and I'm already afraid that the game might be a bit too easy, at least on the lowest level. I seen a guy (Aarava) make multiple grave mistakes during a race, and his drivers still comfortably finished 1 and 2. He barely did any management either, and at one point had sent a driver out on an old set of tires that forced said driver to pit again literally one lap later. And still that driver came in first despite having one extra pit-stop, it was that much of a dead-duck race.

Of course, part of me hopes this is part of the preview, and/or there's a difficulty setting somewhere that doesn't mean you're gonna 1-2 many races unless you go full Mercedes F1 and make the best racing car ever built. And it won't prevent me from playing this game when it comes out. But I do hope there's a decent difficulty for all skill levels, and allow me to actually have to slum it in the mid-table if I'm not good enough or if the car/team isn't there.

It's out!

Much more difficult than the preview version and so far it's a lot of fun. Like a much more upscaled version of the mobile game, which is what I'd expect really. Development bits and the politics stuff is a lot of fun and in-game strategy is really hard to master. Car setup is also much, much better too. Enjoying it quite a bit, only five races in mind.

[Meacon Keaton]

I was going to wait and get this for Christmas. With just that short paragraph it's giving me the itch to get it now.

[Katsuya]

Won my first race finally, in Race #7 of the season with Octane. What's cool is that a strategy that worked for me in this race (trying to do one less stop than the AI) didn't work the race before, so it's not like there's one easy way to win. Probably gonna let go my other driver though, my girl (Dreyfuss) is kicking his ass in every race so far, bar the one where she got hit *twice* and had to get two replacement rear wings.

EDIT: Oh, and the politics is really annoying. Our best part is probably our Gearbox, so naturally we lose the vote for Spec Gearboxes in 2017.

Tried the game for a bit... Came in dead last in my first race by 3 and 5 laps respectively.

10/10, would Manor again

(I picked the worst team in the third tier, so there's your answer...)

Is there an editor with this?
