Playsport Games has marked 10 years since the PC launch of Motorsport Manager, the racing management game, with an anniversary trailer, an 80% Steam discount and a fan livery contest tied to the studio's sequel, Motorsport Manager 2, due on PC in 2027.
According to a release, the original game is 80% off on Steam as part of the celebration. Motorsport Manager first came out on PC in November 2016 under publisher SEGA. Players take the role of team principal: they hire drivers and staff, build the car, chase sponsors and call race-day strategy. The studio said the game still holds a Very Positive rating on Steam.
“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,” said Sam White, Co-Founder of Playsport Games. “The players have made this franchise what it is today, and we’re excited for players to get their hands on Motorsport Manager 2.”
Livery competition
The 10th Anniversary Livery Competition began on November 9th and runs for four weeks. Each week covers a different vehicle class: bikes (November 9th to 15th), GT cars (16th to 22nd), endurance teams (23rd to 29th) and Open Wheel 3 teams (November 30th to December 6th).
One winning design per class will appear in Motorsport Manager 2. Winners can also pitch ideas for a new in-game character, from name and look to age, outfit and personality, with the development team helping build it. Entry rules are on the studio's terms and conditions page.
Motorsport Manager 2
Playsport and publisher Miniclip announced the sequel earlier in 2026. The release promises a deeper management game across open-wheel, GT, endurance, stock car, karting and motorcycle racing, plus reactive racing AI, dynamic weather and Steam Workshop support from launch. It can be wishlisted on Steam.
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.”
The studio has also started a developer diary series, From The Pit Wall, about the making of the sequel. More news and community events are planned before launch, according to the release.
Playsport is the developer of the Motorsport Manager series. The series also includes mobile entries, Motorsport Manager Online and a Nintendo Switch version, the release says.
