I opted for harder compound tires when starting outside of the top 10 and softer tires everywhere else. Since you spend so much time at the track in MM2 you’ll learn quickly that race strategy really comes down to four things: your car, your tires, your fuel load, and your pit stops. Real life race teams face similar dilemmas every weekend worldwide and I was glad to encounter them in MM2. I also learned that all the strategy in the world goes out the window when qualifying is dry but the race is wet. I often used my second driver (aka the lesser of the two cars) to test different setups in qualifying so that I’d have an idea of the strategy to use for my first car (the better performing car). I came to see qualifying as a way to test different race setups. By the same token my team struggled at short, winding tracks with 10 or more corners. I dedicated most of my resources to cars that performed well on long runs, a strategy which helped my team run well at tracks with fewer corners and more straights. Although it took a few seasons I learned the setups and tracks where my team did well and those where we struggled. Race strategy remains key to winning in MM2 just as it was in MM1. I hired and fired drivers and race engineers along the way as I learned how different car setups and strategies affect qualifying and race performance. I played three full seasons in the European League before I won enough races to compete–and win–a championship and promotion to the Asia-Pacific Super Cup. Your goal is to win races and eventually a championship so that you can gain promotion to a higher race series. You begin your career in the entry level European League. The familiar safety car and virtual safety car return, too. Drivers make mistakes, spin, and commit and serve penalties, all of which I noticed for the first time in MM2. Gameplay is quite similar to the first game though there have been refinements and updates. MM2 places you in the role of team principal which means you do everything from signing drivers and sponsors to deciding which parts to upgrade on your car and how many resources to allocate toward next year’s car. The game is a sequel to Motorsport Manager which debuted on iOS in 2014 and then came to Android in 2015 and PC and Mac in 2016. In Motorsport Manager 2 by Playsport Games you take the helm of an open wheel race team and compete for glory on three different world tours.
