<![CDATA[Motorsport Manager Is a Different Kind of Racing Simulator]]>When it comes to sports management simulations there’s football, and then there’s everything else. In 1982 British publisher Addictive Games released Football Manager, a text-based football management simulation that singlehandedly established a new genre of video games. Premier Manager, Championship Manager, and SEGA’s own Football Manager would all reap success following in its wake.

While there’s no shortage of management sims built around other sports – baseball, hockey, cricket, and even professional cycling to name just a few – motor racing is one of the oldest non-football examples. Indeed, Addictive Games followed up the original Football Manager with Grand Prix Manager (published on its ‘Silicon Joy’ sub-label) way back in 1984.
