I almost passed on this one. I've played Motor Sport manager and F1 Manager, and I didn't see what this game offered that those games didn't already do or better. But I like the developer, and have enjoyed their other games, so I took a shot anyways. Really glad I did. I don't know how or why what they've done works better than those other two games, but I actually enjoy playing this one. Like, it's just lighter and more enjoyable. The theme just feels good. - Can we get more statistical tracking? I've just started my second season but I'd like to have a little information on the previous races we've had at the tracks that are on the calendar this year. Or like a hall of trophies room or something. Just need a little more world building as we pass through seasons.

This is the first time since the release of Motorsport Manager that I have truly enjoyed my time with with a racing management game. First off, if you are a Motorsport Manager fan and you're wondering why you would play Golden Lap over Motorsport Manager, here's why: - Drivers can get seriously injured or even die, and they frequently do as Golden Lap is set in the 70s when F1 was extremely dangerous. This feature alone sets Golden Lap apart from any other racing management sim. It makes the stakes feel significantly higher and every decision you make carries more weight as a result. - Though Golden Lap isn't as in depth as Motorsport Manager, it makes up for it by being a bit faster paced. You may have less decisions and less sessions but the decisions and sessions that you partake in carry more weight. - Great interface. Again, this is simpler than Motorsport Manager but it is really intuitive and well designed. - Though simple, the art style and sound does a pretty good job of immersing you in the action. When you hear the sound of a car crashing you do actually feel that anxiety for a split second while you check if it's one of your drivers. Motorsport Manager is still the king in terms of depth but Golden Lap offers something unique and is easily worth the full asking price. As for the F1 Manager series, it may be more visually appealing but Golden Lap is much better in terms of balance, polish, and overall fun. This one is a must buy, we need more games like these.

Motorsport Manager but with no depth If what you're after is a much quicker and simpler version of Motorsport Manager then this game is perfect, if you're after more or F1 manager levels of depth then you will absolutely not find it here. The description makes it seem like there's a lot more here than there actually is. The gameplay loop is essentially, new season sign drivers and chiefs, sign sponsor, do initial upgrades, race, upgrades, race, upgrades, race etc etc etc. That's it, there is some interesting moments like a crash can leave drivers in the hospital or someone can turn up with a hangover but they don't really spice up the gameplay much or are related to your actions at all. The race weekend is just qualifying and the race, for qualifying you send the driver around the track, do Motorsport managers tweaking but without the cards (Literally the EXACT same system except they just don't use cards to viusalize it) and send them around again and again until it's over. The race is basically MM again, there is no compound rules so you can do as you please with strategy, you get the basic Push settings and Fuel burning and stopping drivers from fighting and that's it, the radio's just pop up the same messages constantly so they aren't very interesting or note worthy. I'm also not sure if fighting actually slows people down, it doesn't seem to make a difference but I don't see why the option is there if not. Traffic also doesn't seem to effect anyone. You will occasionally get Sponsor Challenges which can vary on difficulty. I tried the game out to begin with using the Ferrari which is obviously the easiest team but really the only difference in gameplay is where you're fighting until you've got a better car so the most fun you'll get at that point is just trying to undercut/overcut everyone. There's not much else to really talk about, it's a stripped down very casual Motorsport Manager, it'd be perfect for a mobile game but unfortunatley it's £13 and on Steam. If you want any depth at all in your game then buy MM or F1 manager, they offer far more depth and interesting gameplay but if you really just want a quick game to relax with then this is definitely one to play, I'd say the price is steep for what's there considering the far cheaper MM game so maybe a sale is worth it however hopefully mods will allow for more varied game play. I could probably suggest a lot of things I'd love to see added, like actually having to build parts that take time or sustaining relationships with drivers and team members, but it seems like this very very simplistic approach is by design and I wouldn't imagine they'd make any drastic changes considering it's a completed product.

Already doing a better job then F1 manager 24. But if possible, choosing different engine/tire/fuel partners and a bit more combination of sponsors would add to the experience perhaps. But ye alot of potential going on here.
