Guildford, UK – 9 November 2026 – Ten years, countless championships, and more last-minute pit stop decisions than anyone would care to admit. Today, UK-based developer Playsport Games is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Motorsport Manager on PC, reflecting on a decade of racing, strategy and community creativity, while looking ahead to the long-awaited release of Motorsport Manager 2.

Originally released on PC in November 2016 and published by SEGA, Motorsport Manager gave racing fans a different way to experience the world of motorsport. Rather than taking the wheel themselves, players stepped into the role of Team Principal, responsible for building their own racing team, managing drivers and staff, developing cars, securing sponsorships and making the crucial strategic decisions that could make or break a championship.
Building upon the success of the original Motorsport Manager mobile title in 2014, the PC release represented a significant step forward for Playsport Games. Developed by a small British team with a passion for motorsport, the game helped bring renewed attention to the motorsport management genre, combining accessible race-day strategy with the depth and complexity of running a professional racing team.
Sam White, Co-Founder of Playsport Games said:
“It’s amazing to look back at the creation of the original Motorsport Manager, the journey across PC and mobile, the ambitions of the team at the time, and what it means to celebrate ten years of the game. The players have made this franchise what it is Today, and we’re excited for players to get their hands on Motorsport Manager 2, and continue their racing legacy.”
Since its arrival on PC, Motorsport Manager has built a lasting legacy among racing and management game enthusiasts. The original game continues to enjoy a Very Positive rating on Steam, with an active and dedicated community of players who have spent the last decade creating their own teams, developing drivers, winning championships and finding new ways to enjoy the experience.
The franchise has also continued to evolve across multiple platforms. Motorsport Manager Mobile 2, Mobile 3 and Mobile 4 expanded the series with new features, management systems and racing disciplines, while Motorsport Manager Online introduced competitive multiplayer experiences. The franchise also made its way onto Nintendo Switch, bringing motorsport management to another audience.
Throughout that journey, the community has remained central to Motorsport Manager's success. From sharing their racing stories and championship victories to creating entirely new teams, drivers and competitions through Steam Workshop, players have helped extend the life of the original PC game far beyond its initial release.
And while the Motorsport Manager franchise continued to grow on mobile, one question remained for its PC audience: when would the sequel arrive?
After a decade of waiting, the answer finally arrived in 2026, when Playsport Games and publisher Miniclip announced Motorsport Manager 2, a long-awaited sequel coming to PC in 2027.
Building upon the foundations of the original, Motorsport Manager 2 promises a bigger, deeper and more ambitious motorsport management experience, drawing on everything Playsport has learned over the past decade.
Players will once again take control of their own motorsport empire, managing everything from driver recruitment and vehicle development to race-day strategy across an expanded range of racing disciplines, including open-wheel, GT, endurance, stock car, karting and motorcycle racing.
New and expanded management systems, reactive racing AI, dynamic weather and deeper driver relationships will bring new strategic challenges to the pit wall, while Steam Workshop support from launch will give the community the tools to continue building and expanding their own motorsport worlds.
The team has also begun sharing its development journey through From The Pit Wall, a new developer diary series exploring the making of Motorsport Manager 2, featuring behind-the-scenes discussions with the developers and questions from the community.
Will Evans, Co-Founder of Playsport Games said:
“The importance of the community cannot be understated, and it’s the main reason why the team wanted to return to PC. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from the last decade of development of Motorsport Manager across all platforms, to create a sequel that builds on everything players loved about the original.”
To celebrate the milestone, Playsport Games is inviting the community to become part of Motorsport Manager history with a special 10th Anniversary Livery Competition, giving players the opportunity to have their own designs featured in Motorsport Manager 2.
Beginning on 9 November, the competition will run across four weeks, with each week challenging players to create an original racing livery for a different vehicle category:
-
Week 1 (9–15 November): Bike
-
Week 2 (16–22 November): GT Car
-
Week 3 (23–29 November): Endurance Team
-
Week 4 (30 November–6 December): Open Wheel 3 Team
One winning design will be selected from each category, with all four winning liveries brought to life in Motorsport Manager 2. Each winner will also have the opportunity to contribute ideas for a character to be added to the game, from their name and appearance to their age, outfit and personality, with the development team helping bring their creations to life.
The competition celebrates the creativity that has helped Motorsport Manager thrive over the past decade, giving the very people who have supported the franchise the chance to leave their own mark on its future.
With Motorsport Manager 2 heading to PC in 2027, the anniversary marks more than just a celebration of the past. It's an opportunity to recognise the journey that brought the franchise to this point, the players who have supported it along the way, and the exciting future that lies ahead.
Motorsport Manager 2 is available to wishlist now on Steam, with more news, development diaries and community activities planned in the lead-up to launch.
