About Motorsport Manager
Motorsport Manager puts you in charge of a high‑performance racing team. You hire drivers, managers, mechanics and designers, then build and customise cars while reacting to real‑time race‑day events.
The game blends long‑term planning—such as technology development and HQ placement—with split‑second tactics for practice, qualifying and race weekends, all within a single‑player experience that includes dynamic weather and Steam integration.
01 / THE GUIDE
Drivers
Each driver carries a distinct personality type, which can create drama inside the team. Their attitudes affect how they respond to management decisions and can spark drama within the team.
Choosing how to motivate a driver—whether with tough love or supportive encouragement—can help you extract their best results, while ignoring personality cues may lead to conflict and slower progress.
- Watch driver reactions after each race and adjust your management style accordingly.
- Adjust your management approach to each driver’s personality to get the best out of them.
02 / THE GUIDE
Headquarters Location
The location of your team’s headquarters is described as “all‑important” because some drivers are more inclined to join teams based in certain countries.
Selecting a region that aligns with the nationalities you wish to attract can make recruitment smoother, while an unfavourable location may limit your talent pool.
- Consider the nationalities of drivers you want to sign before choosing an HQ country.
- Think about proximity to major circuits when picking a location.
03 / THE GUIDE
Car Development
You can build cars and parts from scratch, then evolve the technology over multiple seasons to approach an ideal machine.
Decisions about which components to include in next season’s car affect pre‑season testing performance and set the foundation for championship contention.
- Track which parts give the biggest time gains during testing.
- Balance innovative upgrades with reliability to avoid setbacks.
04 / THE GUIDE
Race Weekend Strategy
Before each weekend you set strategies for practice, qualifying and the race, then adjust tactics as the event unfolds.
Real‑time decisions—such as pit‑stop timing and on‑track tactics—can swing the result in your favour when rivals make mistakes.
- Create a baseline plan but stay ready to modify it during the race.
- Monitor competitors’ lap times to decide when to push or conserve.
05 / THE GUIDE
Weather Systems
Dynamic weather can change track conditions, forcing you to choose between tyre compounds and pit‑stop timing.
Deciding whether to switch to intermediate tyres or stay on slicks becomes a pivotal moment that can affect final standings.
- Check the weather forecast early in the weekend to plan tyre choices.
- Be prepared to call an early pit stop if conditions deteriorate quickly.
