On my 10th season. It's by far my most successful



It's also still possible for me to win my first team and driver title. Thought I doubt I'll be able to win. Fusco and Sadat just wont give up.




My team -



Annoyingly, Webb wont sign a new contract with us. The spoilt brat... After everything I've done for him.

I made a huge mistake. Downloaded one of the Steam Workshop packs. One of it's main feats included receiving crazy amounts of sponsorship monies - Something I thought I really wanted.

A few races in I realised downloading this pack was a huge mistake. The challenge I had enjoyed for so long was no longer present. I have since uninstalled this game. I plan to re-install it and start over at a later date.

Its a big one people!!!!!1


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.

More info and buy on Steam -> http://store.steampowered.com/app/736770

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

• Reworked the Tyre Heating chassis stat: Now, a high star rating will cause the temperature gauge to move away from the center slowly, but return quickly

• 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

• Pit stop strategy now does not add a fixed amount of time to the pit stops, but instead adds a percentage of the expected time

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

• New interview questions

• New media messages

• Reworked and rebalanced existing interview and media messages that were not triggering

• New radio messages

• Fixed an issue where the personality traits 'Boring Winner', 'Losing Hope' and 'Top of the World' were not triggering

• The personality trait 'Media Trained' now removes more negative media-related traits if the target driver possesses them

• 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

• UI improvements to front-end menus

• UI improvements to the scouting screen

• When refuelling, the player can now also add fuel in increments of 5 or click to fill the whole tank

• Can now view each team's chassis supplier information from the Choose Team screen

• Fixed an issue where the player couldn't click the 'traits' button in the post-race screen if no new traits had been assigned

• 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 )

• Each series now has 'restricted rules' which are editable in the Championships.csv. A 'restricted' rule can never be voted in by the player or AI in that series

• Championships now handle having between 6 to 12 teams

Awesome!!!!!!! Still playing this, and it's my most played game by a long way this year. I was waiting on the updated Flamng Red mod to come out before starting a new career, but I guess that will be affected by this update.

Id be tempted to remove mods for now. I've spotted a few bugs.

To be honest I somewhat aggree with edgfactors post. Don't get me wrong, fantastic little game and loving it too.

I would like to see more indepth development of parts. Currently we have 5 levels to put in an upgraded stat to make what ever it is you are making. Now, I am not clued up on rules on componants but take brakes for example:

I imagine there is a rule on disc diameter, as in the disc connot be any larger than say 30cm in diameter to fit to a ERS car (this is all hypothetical) so when it comes to desgining your next disc upgrade you could have the option of making the disc diameter bigger than the rule book but then will have the braking stats increased BUT also have the rule breaking stat increased too. Sub options for brakes could be material used, carbon, ceramic etc. Pads, callipers etc. All this costs money so part design is based on what you can afford, how much you're willing to risk and actually have an input in performance increase etc instead of the set stats yolu get with the current way.

just my thoughts on it.:)
