Another summer, and yet another dual-lineup of F1 games to enjoy on console and PC. We’ve already seen F1 24 enter the fold, and now it’s time for its not-too-distant cousin F1 Manager 2024 to have its turn in the limelight.
Will you be able to take your team to glory, and win the Constructors’ Championship?
Create your Team
More of an iteration of the formula than a complete revolution from F1 Manager 2023, this year’s instalment in the relatively new series has one major new feature that will entice both new and returning players.
For the first time ever, you’ll be able to create your own F1 team, and bring it to the grid in the 11th slot. Do you perhaps take Andretti into the fold for the first time, or perhaps bring back old-school teams like Benetton to fight at the top once again?
However you decide to play – whether with a custom team or existing Constructor, you’ll have to contend with some new systems that will affect your race standings. Drivers will now be influenced by Mentality, which relies on metrics like success on-track, and how you treat one driver over their team-mate – harmony is key!
Additionally, mechanical failures will attempt to derail your race, and for the first time ever you can hire F2 and F3 drivers to your affiliate pool, increasing their chance of racing for you when it’s time to enter F1.
Christian Who?
Returning from previous titles is Race Replay, which tasks you with replaying certain stints from the real-world 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship – can you use a different strategy from your real-world Team Principal counter-parts, and improve on the real-world result?
Throw in enhanced circuit visuals, including the return of China’s Shanghai International Circuit, and a variety of different modes to get involved with, and F1 Manager 24 is suiting up to be another great instalment into this management sim series.
Does it all work? Yes, as our full review of F1 Manager 2024 states.
