Motorsport Manager marks 10 years with sale, livery contest and sequel update
Playsport Games marked the 10th anniversary of Motorsport Manager on PC with a retrospective, a new community contest and a Steam discount for the original game. In its 9 November 2026 anniversary post, the studio looked back at the series’ history, pointed fans toward an upcoming livery competition and reminded them that Motorsport Manager 2 is still on the way.
The announcement arrives exactly ten years after the original PC release on 9 November 2016. Playsport Games also traced the series back to its mobile beginnings in 2014, then noted the GT and Endurance expansions, three more mobile sequels through Mobile 4, and a stop on Nintendo Switch.
A decade of Motorsport Manager on PC
Playsport Games opened with a direct nod to the first PC launch, saying that “the original Motorsport Manager rolled out onto PC.” The anniversary message framed the last decade as a run of long saves, unexpected outcomes and a community that kept the series in motion through mods, videos and stories from the pit wall.
The studio thanked fans for “playing” and for “modding,” and also singled out the way players streamed the game, shared their stories and told the team what they wanted from the series next. That community support sat at the centre of the post, which treated the anniversary as a shared milestone rather than a simple date on the calendar.
The post also briefly recapped the wider series path. After starting on mobile in 2014, Motorsport Manager moved to PC in 2016, then added the GT and Endurance expansions. The mobile line continued with three more sequels up to Mobile 4, while a Nintendo Switch release gave the management series another home.
Motorsport Manager 2 gets another reminder
The anniversary was also used to keep Motorsport Manager 2 in front of fans. Playsport Games said it announced the sequel this year and described it as “another racing kick off From The Pit Wall.” The studio said the new game is intended to be “a bigger world, deeper simulation and more reactive racing,” while remaining “still Motorsport Manager at heart.”
There is also a release window attached to the follow-up. The anniversary post says Motorsport Manager 2 hits Steam in 2027. That timing gives the studio a little room between the anniversary celebration and the next entry, while keeping the sequel visible to players who have followed the series for years.
The message ended with a push to wishlist the game on Steam, alongside the line: “If you haven’t wishlisted Motorsport Manager 2 yet, now’s the time.” Playsport Games also signed off with “Lights out!” as part of its anniversary note.
Legacy stories, a livery contest and an 80% Steam discount
The post was not limited to nostalgia. Playsport Games said its Share Your Legacy campaign has now closed and that the team is reading every submission before announcing winners soon. The studio did not offer a date for those results, only that they will be shared after review.
Another community event is due later on 9 November. The developer said its livery competition goes live at 2pm GMT / 3pm CET and that full details will follow in a dedicated post. The announcement also pointed readers to the rules link for the contest.
Fans who want to revisit the original game have a cheaper route in the meantime. Playsport Games said Motorsport Manager is 80% off on Steam from 10am GMT on 9 November until 10am GMT on 16 November. The studio suggested the discount is a chance to buy the game or gift it before Motorsport Manager 2 arrives.
The anniversary post closed by inviting players to celebrate on Discord and in the studio’s QQ group, and by thanking everyone who sent in a story for Share Your Legacy. Winners from that campaign will be announced soon.

ten years is a proper run for a niche management game, fair play to them. the bit that stands out is how much of the series survival seems tied to the community – mods, save stories, the lot. but 2027 for Motorsport Manager 2 feels like a long time to keep asking people to wishlist and wait, especially when the original is still the one everyone knows.
wishlist bait, basically
yeah, a bit of that, but i also get why they’re pushing the old one. if the sequel is still a year away, the sale is the easiest way to keep the name alive without pretending it’s ready now.
80% off is the real news
It’s a decent discount, but I wouldn’t call that the whole point. Plenty of people will care more about the anniversary post and the sequel teaser than saving a few quid.
Or both. Cheap game, easy sale.
fair enough, we’ll see
i lost a championship by 1 point because my 2 stop gamble got ruined by a safety car, so the long save thing hits lol. games like this stick around when they create those stupid little stories you remember for years
pain is the feature
