F1 Manager

There have been a few made in the 90's, such as Grand Prix Manager 2 but nothing of note in recent years. Suppose it comes down to the limitation of keeping it realistic, because there would be a lack of dynamic you as manager can do on race day, because if your team or car is slow then that is it, you will always lose. Unlike in football management games where the manager can have a direct impact, like introducing your 18yr old wonderkid from the bench to dump Man U out of the FA Cup...:D
 
Pole Position 2012 might interest you, it's a new release on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/210150

I played the 2010 version of this game...... It has to be the most useless and incomplete game i ever played.
There are no guidelines on what to do, you get thrown into the deep end and thats it, you need to figure out what to do.


Many, many years ago there was a F1 Manager that was made by EA Sports (1999 or 2000 i think) which was quite fun, but it becomes very stale and boring very fast.
After you managed and organised all the sponsers and drivers and engines, etc, the fun essentially stops.
Race day is just a map of the track with a bunch of dots on and you just tell them how to drive at certain points of the race, eg... Push it, drive carelessly, hold position, super defensive, that sort of stuff.
Thats all you did for an hour or so, and every now and then you told your drivers to pull in for a pit stop.

I for one love a good sim or management game (football manager ftw!) but this was just absolute snoresville.
