With no new planned instalments of the F1 Manager game series, Frontier Developments will be releasing an update with features designed to prolong the lifespan of the most recent release, F1 Manager 24.
The 2025 Formula One season is just around the corner and whilst many may be inclined to actually drive the cars on a platform of their choice, others are content with sitting on the figurative pitwall. Managerial games are commonplace across many forms of sports, and 2022 saw the revival of the genre for fans of F1.
Over the past three years, the series released titles annually but due to falling sales, it appears that there will not be a new game for 2025. Instead, an update arriving on February 25th will see many new features including the ability to customise every team's driver line-up, creating custom drivers and staff, even a custom season calendar!
Not only can you personalise the grid with swapping around drivers but it also creating completely fictional drivers and other team staff members. It will be possible to configure many different elements like experience, acclaim, development rate and more.
Additionally, the starting conditions that were previously only locked to the player's custom team now can apply to the other teams on the grid. This means that Red Bull can be made into a tailender team whilst Williams can be brought back to championship winning glory.
The next big feature is the calendar customisation, with the ability to rearrange the entire schedule at the end of every season in both Create A Team or regular Career mode. The change can be partial or completely random, and the minimum number of Grand Prix one can do in a season will be eight. It will also be possible to change which rounds feature Sprints.
Alongside that is the ability to change the rules and regulations, such as the points allocation and adding or removing restraints to aerodynamic testing or powertrain limits. There is also setting how much money can be used in the cost cap, just make sure to not spend too much on the catering!
Update 1.11 arrives for F1 Manager 2024 on February 25th as a free update on both PlayStation and Xbox platforms as well as PC, with the Nintendo Switch version getting the update shortly afterwards.
Will these new features in the new F1 Manager 2024 update tempt you into picking up the game? Let us know in the comments below and join the discussion in our F1 Manager forum.
