A common reason why Motorsport Manager might not be working is corrupted cache data.

I'll have to reserve judgment until that point, but at this early stage it’s encouraging just to see that the minute details of tire deg and front wing airflow are really at the heart of being a good virtual team principal.

Just like Football Manager, it’ll only get dangerously absorbing once you’re a few seasons in, and we’ve yet to see how regulation changes, silly season driver moves and the like change the complexion of the sport over time. That proposition probably won’t be bringing in the F1-agnostic players in their droves, but it’s truly exciting to have a studio as experienced as Frontier at the helm of this one.

In the shorter term, being kind to tires and effectively managing their wear keeps your pace high across the full race and minimises pit stops, earning back a chunk of time on other cars who might have the pace advantage on paper. It takes vast sums to keep any F1 operation ticking over, so securing lucrative sponsorship contracts and meeting board performance targets to secure higher funding levels is vital to moving up through the ranks and fighting for wins-or, indeed, staying at the top.

There are two chiefly important ones here: money, and tire life. This being a management game, in the end it all comes down to resources. Here, it appears, there’a a much wider gamut of pace and AI decision-making between the different pace levels you can assign to drivers. In the olden days when EA was the last to have a crack at licensed F1 management (released in 2000, it was aptly named F1 Manager) you’d watch in furious bafflement as Giancarlo Fisichella moved along at the same trundle whether or not you asked him to risk it all or conserve his tires. It was immediately clear how evident your commands are in each driver’s actions. As gratifying as it may have been to build up favour with the press, undermine a rival team principal’s credibility or earn influence with race control, it’s probably not an aspect of the sport the license holder wants to emphasise.ĭuring the racing at Albert Park I saw in an offline gameplay demo, the two Ferraris of Leclerc and Sainz wrestled to work their way through Perez in P2 and then use the free track in front of them to chip away Verstappen’s lead. The official license itself is the second major departure from Motorsport Manager, and given FOM’s historically heavy handed approach to moderating licensed content, one suspects that’s the reason for the absence of Crusader Kings-esque court intrigue. The former of these will certainly be addressed in time for release whether the latter can be addressed to produce a more convincing sense of suspension at work remains to be seen. The build I saw was WIP, featuring some 2021 car designs and liveries, and a floaty animation style as the car moves over the track surface. A small touch, but one that makes the most of that official license and conveys that Frontier knows how much fans revel in even incidental authenticity. Call Charles Leclerc into the pits and you’ll hear Xavier Marcos Padros putting the instruction out, then Charles’ succinct “copy”.

But it looks convincing as TV-style coverage, bolstered by the Sky Sports commentary team chipping in at key moments and, in my personal favourite touch, real race radio between the drivers and their engineers when you give them an instruction. It doesn’t go supersoft-to-supersoft with Codemasters’ gorgeous F1 2021 for outright fidelity, scaling down the lighting complexity and poly counts and not featuring anything like the same realistic AI behaviour. The first is a fully 3D, high detail depiction of racing.

There are two major differences, of course.
