@bradley13 I know Bradley. :-) I’m working on it nearly 7 days a week at the moment. I can’t wait to launch on Android but there are so many devices to support. I’ll get there. :P
Hey guys,
Motorsport Manager is half price this weekend. It’s £1.49 instead of the usual £2.99.

Hey guys!
Apologies for the slow reply. Things have been super busy! :D
@merioksa That crash was found after I launched the game. I have submitted a new update to Apple that fixes all the known problems that have been found since launch. It should go live later in the week.
@pezlo2013 The Android version is getting there now. I’m hoping it will be out this month.@ajokay I’m going to fade out the blur when in faster playback speeds for the next update (the plan is for that update to go live in about 2 weeks).
Yeah, improving the investment in your young driver programme will improve the drivers you have recruited too. Some of them won’t be able to match that investment though, they do peak in ability. :-)
Awesome! I’m glad you’re enjoying the game! :D
Some drivers won’t improve after a while, they’ll reach their max potential. You have to keep an eye on them and release them if you think their just not good enough for you. I trying to work out ways to message that better without it just telling you directly.
@mathers Sounds like you’ve had a good career so far! Glad you’re enjoying it. :-)
@bradley13 it’s a universal app so you get both for the price. It also has icloud saving so you can transfer your save data super easy without having to plug your devices in. I like the phone version the best though. :D
@andra49 That’s awesome. Thanks for such a great comment. :D
The game has actually charted now and is sitting in the top 50 on iPad and top 75 on iPhone. Incredible.
Thanks guys! Argh! I’m so excited and scared!
Another games press quote just came in:
“Motorsport Manager is complex, accessible, beautiful, personal, and I honestly believe that any fan of racing or management games will adore it.”
I think I need a beer. Ha. :D
So…
The game is out at midnight tonight.
It’s safe to say I’ve never felt so scared about anything in my life. If you decide to download it thank you so much. :-)
Oops, Sorry @minnis apologies for the slow reply. It’s been a busy week! The game isn’t out yet, although it has now been approved by Apple. The game requires an iOS device that is running iOS 7. Which means only iPod Touch 5 from the iPod range. I hope that’s okay!
The game will be released this week!
Here’s some promo art to tease you a little until launch. :D
@jamiefranklinf1 The game has been submitted to the App Store now so it’s too late to change the names now. Although I’ll add it in at a later date if you’d like. :-)
You’ll notice in the video he nearly pulls off a one-two finish but his second driver’s tyres hit the cliff and she dropped from 2nd to 5th on the last lap.
You’ll find a lot of this in the game. You’ll be trying to work out if a 2 or 3 stop strategy is going to work well and at times you’ll panic when you realise the tyres just won’t pull off a 2 stopper. Do you leave your guy out there or change early to a 3 stop strategy before getting it too wrong?
Do you split the strategy between your drivers? Will that annoy the fans?
It’s super fun! :D
@merioksa Thanks! I really appreciate that. I’ve worked really hard on it. :D
Yeah weather can chop and change and there’s a rough guide (as already noted above :P). I really wanted to put the player in the position of making those tough strategy calls around risking everything on dry tyres in the wet or playing it safe. There’s a lot of different situations in the game that will quite literally leave you watching the rest of the race through your fingers. :-)
It was a good preview video, but other circuits are much nicer to look at. But that’s how these things go.
Not long to go now until it’s no longer my game… but yours. :-)
