For example, instead of meticulously planning which facilities to build or upgrade as on the PC version due to limited funds, your team’s headquarters are split into three departments including part development, driver development, and financial development. This has caused the Switch version to become quite underwhelming when it comes to any decisions beyond a surface level. Through the streamlining of much of the sim aspect, Motorsport Manager on Switch has lost the depth and difficulty it had on PC. Instead, you’re able to view all the stats of those you can hire immediately, as well as the sponsor appeal of potential drivers.

Also, scouting for drivers and staff is entirely absent in this iteration. In contrast to the relatively slow pace in Motorsport Manager on PC, the process of increasing a driver’s talent is far faster here. As the boss you get to choose which stats you want to invest these points into with categories such as braking and cornering. Driver improvement has also been simplified, with drivers now getting a skill point when they level up. You’re in charge of both their fuel and tire usage, as well as which driver is prioritized with the best strategy. Your job is ultimately to give your drivers a winning chance by dictating how hard they push. In the race itself, you’re presented with the same options as on the PC. I much prefer this setup to the guesswork that was on PC, as the exclusion of practice makes this portion of the game a lot less annoying and time consuming. The higher your mechanics skill level, the more aggressive you can be in choosing cards as you have a smaller chance of busting and thus reducing your car’s setup.

The closer you get your car to 100%, the closer you are to shaving off a full second of lap time. Each card has a minimum and maximum value that provides a percentage bonus. This time around, car setup and qualifying is based on cards and mechanic skill level. Much of this change stems from the exclusion of practice during the race weekend as it knocks off a third of what is to be completed. Race weekends are a lot quicker this time around as a result. Motorsport Manager on Switch has replaced the awful practice and qualifying setup from the original on PC that had players aimlessly attempting to set up the car. Once you’ve proceeded to your first race you’ll notice a major change if coming from Motorsport Manager on PC, the removal of practice. For example, you can earn a reliability bonus for every part built, or a reduction in overall cost on all purchases. Your background will dictate a major passive benefit that you’ll receive. These options include being a former engineer or driver, with the financial background being available as well. You start off by getting to slightly customize your character, and then choosing one of three backgrounds. You begin the game in much the same fashion as Motorsport Manager on PC. The difference here is that much of the management aspect of the game has been streamlined for better and for worse. Additionally, Motorsport Manager on the Switch includes both Endurance and GT car championships, as well as the standard single seater championships. You’re still in charge of making the major decisions of running your racing outfit both on and off the track.

Despite this, the overall layout of Motorsport Manager on Switch is largely similar.

Motorsport manager review update#

As previously mentioned, Motorsport Manager on Switch derives from a newer mobile version of Motorsport Manager, and instead of getting an update like the PC version, the Switch Version retains much of it’s mobile roots. Motorsport Manager on Switch is not the same as Motorsport Manager on PC.
