Stirred by the thrilling title-clincher in Mexico, Motorsport Manager is back!
Meet the Endurance Series DLC – the massive new mode we’ve been dying to add to the game, bringing a whole new, thrilling Endurance Championship to your MM experience.
With six drivers per team to manage, an entirely new stamina system and some of the most beautiful cars in racing, we’ve taken this one up to the top step of the podium. What’s more, it’s out now!
Alongside, to mark coming up to a year since Motorsport Manager launched and thank our loyal and incredible community (that’s you!), we’ve released the Anniversary Update – a large, free add on which will bring fully-fledged pit crews to the game.

Free update patch notes:
• Players can now manage the speed and safety of their pitstops through the new pit crew feature
• Pit crew members have 5 core stats: Tyres, Part Fixing, Refuelling, Front Jack and Rear Jack. Their stat levels determine the speed at which they can perform each task
• Crew members will become fatigued after each race and will need to be placed 'In Recovery' to regain their stamina. Tired crew members are more likely to make mistakes
• As well as time mistakes, there are now new, job-specific pit mistakes: Wrong tyre compound fitted, underfuelled, front and rear jack damage and part fixing red-zone increase
• Catastrophic mistakes are new, rare mistakes that can drastically alter the outcome of a race. There are 2 catastrophic mistakes: Loose wheel and pit fire (only if refuelling is active)
• If a pit fire occurs, there is a chance that the car will be retired from the race. Pit fire retirements can have a psychological impact on the driver
• The pit crew can be automanaged by your mechanics. A mechanic's Pitstop and Concentration stats impact how effectively they will auto-manage your pit crew
• Car cornering stats impacting the simulation have been re-worked to reduce emphasis on the top speed of the engine. This makes low, medium and high cornering speeds more dependant on the Front Wing, Suspension and Rear Wing
• Driver form now has a larger impact in a race weekend's performance. During a race, a driver's form will fluctuate depending on their consistancy stat
• A driver's current form is now displayed on their portrait during the race
• Added a new x12 speed during races
• Added a preference screen for the new x12 speed that allows players to customise when the game automatically slows down to show important events

• New Part Design components
• The mechanic's 'Part Fixing' stat now impacts both raceday part fixes and fixing parts when returning from a race weekend
• Added keyboard shortcuts for engine modes, driving styles and swapping the camera between drivers
• Weight Stripping is now a rule that can be voted in or out per series
• Spec Parts can no longer be weight stripped
• Weight stripping is now banded per series to improve balancing
• Improved saving and loading during a race event
• If autosave is enabled, the game will now save at the end of a race before returning to the frontend

• Fixed instances where the driver "Sammy White" would appear in the frontend

• Fixed a bug where new mechanic hire mails would be blank if the player was unemployed
• Fixed an issue where AI teams would not be charged for mechanic and designer race bonuses
• Fixed a bug where qualifying bonuses would be deducted three times if the series had three-stage qualifying
• Improved how AI cars use the ERS system
• Improved how AI cars refuel during a race
• Improved how AI cars interact during the first lap of the race
• Fixed a bug where temp drivers would retain previous morale debuffs and traits from working with other teams
• Fixed an exploit where the player could press the ERS boost button as it breaks in a pitstop, leading to an infinite boost until the end of the race
• Increased the rate at which drivers and staff improve when influenced by HQ buildings
• Improved the regen system to have more varied 'drivable series'
• Improved the AI team intelligence on when to build a new car part
• Fixed a bug that was preventing the activation of corner cutting

• Added the current track and the current layout information to the load setup popup
• New 'Choose Series' screen
• Updated the challenge medal icon
• Optimised the 'Lap Chart' screen performance when loading for the first time
• General performance improvements
• New Personality Traits
• New Achievements
• New tooltips
• The weight stripping reliability to performance ratio is now editable in the Championships.csv ( if set to zero the AI will not use the feature )
