The game racing fans have been waiting for?

The racing management genre of computer games has been poorly served over the years. SCOTT MITCHELL investigates if that is all about to change with the launch of Motorsport Manager later this year

We need to talk about Motorsport Manager. Those who read up on the game's release will have noticed one thing in particular. It isn't Formula 1. Well, it is. But it's not F1. Not officially anyway.

This is Motorsport Manager. There's no licence for the game's developers to replicate the F1 calendar, the grid, the drivers. But there is plenty of influence - you win no prizes for working out where the inspiration for the forest-backdropped Ardennes track comes from, ditto that for the Italian team with the red livery and a German/Finnish driver line-up. How does that impact on the game though?
