Frontier have announced that the F1 Manager series is coming back for a 3rd lap with F1 Manager 24, which includes the same features found in past games, but now for the first time will allow players to create their own team to manage. Check out the announcement trailer below.

Yes, you read that correctly, because for the very first time in the franchise’s history fans will have the option to create and lead their own custom team to victory, building a legacy alongside the sport’s greatest names as they orchestrate their ascent to the top of the podium.

This means managers will be able do everything from customising elements of their team, players can curate their creativity to bring their dream designs to life, whilst negotiating sponsorship opportunities to ensure a steady stream of income to fuel their ambition. Identifying up-and-coming talent to rise up the grid order or cherry-picking the biggest stars in the sport in the pursuit of immediate success, the choice is theirs to make before the covers are lifted from their championship challenger.

If that was not enough, you will also have to keep your drivers and staff motivated using the comprehensive new mentality system and dynamic contract negotiations. Take control of your team’s facilities and focus your driver’s development as you execute your vision. Improved rival team AI, including the new threat of staff and driver poaching, provides an unpredictable and dynamic challenge year-on-year.

The game is set to release sometime in the Winter months for Xbox, PC and PlayStation, but no exact date has been revealed yet.
