Sponsors

Sponsors are one of the most important financial sources. Each sponsor has a Upfront Payment value, which you will get instantly when the contract is signed. The amount of money you get is depending on your sponsor appeal level, which is depending on your Marketability.

## Race Bonus Sponsors

"These three slots are for sponsors who offer Race Bonuses. Each race you will be able to pick one sponsor's bonus objective. If you manage to hit the bonus you will win the money."

Each of the slots has a different difficulty depending on your progress.

* Slot 1 sponsors are the easiest to achieve (place 10+), but will also yield the least money
* Slot 3 sponsors are the hardest to achieve (place 1 and 2), but will yield the most money
* Slot 5 sponsors are in between (place 3 to 9)

It is useful to focus on one Slot having a high Bonus Pool and the other two having a high Upfront Payment since you can only choose one objective.

## Fixed Payment Sponsors

"These three sponsor slots are for offering Fixed Payments. These sponsors will pay the specific amount after each race, regardless of the result. Some fixed payment sponsors will give you all of the money upfront. This can be useful if you need the funds immediately but does tend to be less profitable in the long term."

The Good Just Gets Better

## Gallery

"**The Good Just Gets Better**" is a song by Grace VanderWaal that she uploaded to her YouTube channel on August 15, 2016. The song has not been officially released.

## Background

This song was inspired by a Twenty One Pilots concert that VanderWaal attended. This song is about being "done with everything," but VanderWaal wants to remind people to look at the good things that they are experiencing/will experience.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You think that you know everything you need to know about the world

But let me tell you now, you're just a little girl

There's much more to come

You can't give up now

College exams and high school boyfriends

Just getting by for the rest

[Pre-Chorus]

So we'll take it one step at a time

Don't be nervous you'll be fine

We'll get through this together

You and me

So we'll take it one step at a time

Don't be nervous you'll be fine

We'll get through this together

You and me

[Chorus]

'Cause I believe you can

So please just take my hand

And we will get through this life together

'Cause the good just gets better

[Verse 2]

Enjoy your off days and your heartbreaks

But icecream is the best medicine for mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]

So we'll take it one step at a time

Don't be nervous you'll be fine

We'll get through this together

You and me

So we'll take it one step at a time

Don't be nervous you'll be fine

We'll get through this together

You and me

[Chorus]

'Cause I believe you can

So please just take my hand

And we will get through this life together

'Cause the good...

[Bridge]

So keep pushin' through it, you can do it, we

Will find a way how

Turn hours into seconds

Seconds

So please just make each one of them count

[Pre-Chorus]

So we'll take it one step at a time

Don't be nervous you'll be fine

We'll get through this together

You and me

So we'll take it one step at a time

Don't be nervous you'll be fine

We'll get through this together

You and me

[Chorus]

'Cause I believe you can

So please just take my hand

And we will get through this life together

'Cause the good just gets better...

The Great Library of Cooneries

**The Great Library of Cooneries** is the source of ancient knowledge and magic from throughout the ages. It was created during the First Kingdom of Kobonium mainly under Berx. It is the center of all magical organizations in Kobonium with the leader being Kles Thraang the head librarian. It is also the headquarters of The Sentinels. It is the largest building in Cooneries dwarfing even the castle of Kobonium.
Black Sea

**Black Sea** is a track in Motorsport Manager. Running along the Black Sea (where it's named off of), the track has 6 usable layouts, the most in the game.

## Trivia

Black Sea is based on the Sochi Autodrom, which held the Russian Grand Prix from 2014 to 2021. Some of the game's files refer to this track as 'Sochi' so that may have been an early name for it.
Beautiful Thing

## Gallery

"**Beautiful Thing**" is a song by Grace VanderWaal that is featured on her debut EP, *Perfectly Imperfect.* A lyric video for the song was released on December 21, 2016. VanderWaal had previously performed this song during the quarterfinals of *America's Got Talent.* This song was used in an advertisement for *Windex**.*

## Background

VanderWaal wrote this song for her sister Olivia, who is her best friend. The song talks about how Olivia is VanderWaal's other half and how much she loves their friendship.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You think that you know my heart

And you probably do

That's why I'm always with you

I could stay with you for hours

In an empty room

Never get bored

Never have nothing to do

[Pre-Chorus]

You're my other half

You're what makes me, me

What makes me smile

When I fall down and can't get back, get back, get back up

On my feet

Without you here I am boring

Something inside you is triggering

It makes me myself

Makes me funny

[Chorus]

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

We can find the rainbow

Up in the sky

You'd say don't you cry, it's all gonna be alright

That's a beautiful thing

[Verse 2]

If we ever got into a fight or war that would be bad

Cause you know all of my secrets

But I know all of yours

We make hours into seconds together

The weight of the world feel like a feather

Cause we're holding it right in our hands

[Pre-Chorus]

You're my other half

What makes me, me

What makes me smile

When I fall down and can't get back, get back, get back up on my feet

Without you here I am boring

Something inside you is triggering

It makes me myself

Makes me funny

[Chorus]

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

[Bridge]

You and me together

We'll forget what we have been told

We'll live in our own dream world

You and me forever

We'll forget what we have been told

We will take on the whole world

[Pre-Chorus]

Without you here I am boring

Something inside you is triggering

It makes me myself

Makes me funny

[Chorus]

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

And that's a beautiful thing

Yokohama

**Yokohama** is a track in Motorsport Manager. A flowing, challenging track, Yokohama is a perennial favourite with drivers.

## Usage

Yokohama is used in the World Motorsport Championship and the Asia-Pacific Super Cup.

## Trivia

Yokohama is almost identical to Suzuka. The first half of the lap is almost identical and the only differences in the second half are that the Hairpin and Spoon Curve are swapped and that the chicane is absent, creating a very long flat-out run from the exit of the hairpin down to Turn 1.
Vancouver

**Vancouver** is a Canadian track in Motorsport Manager. A high-speed thrill ride through bridges and lakes, Canada's round of the WMC is a favourite with drivers and fans.

## Usage

Vancouver is used in the World Motorsport Championship and the Asia-Pacific Super Cup.

## Trivia

Vancouver is based on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montréal, although it is run anti-clockwise. The first corners are rather similar to those at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit, with the (now removed) chicane-into-hairpin combination featuring on the track, albeit the one in Vancouver is a fast kink leading into a 90 degree right and then a hairpin left.
Brassimir

The **Brassimir** is the co-ruler of the Kingdom of Xelon. They rule beside the monarch advising them on important matters. Every Brassimir is a descendant of Xelon the brass dragon with Plethir, Xelon's son, being the first Brassimir. They are known to have powerful premonitions and help steer the kingdom based on those visions. The current Brassimir is Solvess.
Ardennes

**Ardennes** is a track in Motorsport Manager. Set in the rolling, forested hills of the Ardennes region of Belgium, the combination of long straights and tight corners suits a car that has both a high top speed and good front-end grip. It also means that fuel usage is high, although tyre wear is low. Ardennes has only only one track layout, a characteristic shared with Sydney, Singapore and Cape Town. At 3.61 miles (5.81 km), it's one of the longest tracks in the game.

## Layout

From the start/finish straight drivers approach the first corner, a tight right hander followed by a slight left hand kink. The second corner is another, slightly faster, right hander, then drivers head downhill through the fastest part of the circuit to a very fast left kink before a long draw uphill to a slow left/right chicane. This is the best overtaking opportunity on the circuit and can lead to plenty of drama in the opening laps. After the chicane drivers carry on through a pair of right hand corners and a fast sweeper before entering the slower section of the lap. The twisty, forested section demands good front end grip and can lead to some exciting racing as drivers take full advantage of the switchbacks. Going to the lowest point on the circuit, a tight hairpin and a slow left-hander awaits the drivers. Exiting this tight left, a good exit is important as you head off onto a curving straight and into the flat-out last corner to close the lap.

## Trivia

Ardennes is based on Spa-Francorchamps. The overall shape, length and forested surroundings are very similar, although most of the corners have been changed, for example the first corner (La Source in real life) is a 90 degree right-hander, rather than a hairpin. One feature retained from real life is the pit lane, which doubles back onto itself to cut out the first two corners.

Doha

**Doha** is a track in Motorsport Manager. Set around the marina filled with superyachts, the Qatari venue is one of the most glamorous on the calendar.

## Usage

Doha is used by the World Motorsport Championship and the Asia-Pacific Super Cup.

## Trivia

Doha is similar to the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, especially the final sector around the marina. In particular, Doha uses the distinctive blue run-off areas as Yas Marina and there is a building inspired by the hotel which the track runs through.

Although Doha only has three usable layouts, there is a map in the game files for a fourth layout. This is identical to Layout A except that it goes through the otherwise unused chicanes by the harbour and on the start/finish straight.

The pit-lane is incredibly short. You lose next to no time there, which means a multi-stop strategy is often the best way to win.
Cloudy

**Sentry Cloudy** was born in 1940 on a small island in the nation of Scape. She eventually found herself on the island of Cryoscape as a roommate of Cactus. The two eventually saved refugees of Nif that had somehow managed to find themselves on the island. They then became greatly involved in their affairs deciding to help them with their quests to find out why Nif was attacked.

Cloudy eventually became a Sentinel with her friends Cactus and Terrorwine. She eventually quit the order due to her abrasive personality. She traveled back to Scape and married an orc commoner. They had a daughter, Fog, who would later go on to join the Sentinels eventually becoming Lord Sentry.

The Sentinels

**The Sentinels** were founded in 1927 by Venden, Koll, Barbarossa, Catar Hensie, and Enwar Seddle. The organization was originally made to expand and protect the trade routes of The Danielson Trading Company in order to help unify Kobonium. It then led the fight to take back the land from the undead scourge. After Kobonium was founded the organization transformed into a special branch of the government tasked with important missions of the Kingdom. They mainly focus on helping to rule the kingdom acting as a liaison between the crown and the smaller governments within the kingdom. Currently the leader, or Lord Sentry, is a half orc named Fog. As a Sentinel the title "Sentry" is bestowed upon the member.

Cape Town

**Cape Town** is a track in Motorsport Manager. Located on the Cape Town seafront, it is a true street track which only has one layout, a trait shared with Ardennes, Sydney and Singapore.

## Trivia

Cape Town doesn't seem to be based on any current Formula One track but the layout has some similarities to the Prince George Circuit in East London, which hosted the South African Grand Prix three times in the 1960s.

Cape Town only has one usable layout but the game files contain a minimap for 'Cape Town B'. There doesn't appear to be any difference between the two layouts though.
Singapore

**Singapore** is a track in Motorsport Manager. Based in Singapore's downtown, it is a true street track which only has one layout, like two of the other street tracks in the game, Cape Town and Sydney, and also Ardennes.

## Trivia

Singapore hosts a real-world F1 race and while there are some similarities (such as the track crossing a bridge) the real Singapore track is much tighter and slower and is always run as a night race. The game's version of the circuit also includes 2 bridges - double the real F1 track's bridge crossings.

While Singapore only has one usable layout, the game files include a second layout which misses out the loop over the bridge. The track for this layout can still be seen on the map of the circuit.
Lungs

## Gallery

"**Lungs**" is a song by Grace VanderWaal that is featured on her debut album, *Just The Beginning.* It is the first Target exclusive track of the album.

## Background

This song is about living in the moment. Many people dwell on the past, which is causing them to waste their life away. They're not actually living because they're not willing to live in the present.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Dancing flames into this glass castle

And underground wax world

Rushing water at the park

Takes you to a different world

[Chorus]

And the air was filling my lungs

Autumn was filling your lungs

We're just trying to be young

But little do we know that trying to be young

Is what is making us grow old

The air was filling my lungs

Autumn was filling your lungs

We're just trying to stay young

But little do we know that trying to stay young

Is what is making us grow old

[Post-Chorus]

That's what

That's what is making us grow old

[Verse 2]

A patter of rain pattering on my window

Makes me smile and feel refreshed

But then I'm walking down the street

In the middle of the night

Singing these lyrics to me

Kind of starts messing with my head

[Chorus]

And the air was filling my lungs

Autumn was filling your lungs

We're just trying to be young

But little do we know that trying to be young

Is what is making us grow old

Air was filling my lungs

Autumn was filling your lungs

We're just trying to stay young

But little do we know that trying to stay young

Is what is making us grow

[Bridge]

Listen to the breath of my voice

Just close your eyes and just go oh-oh-oh

Let's just live life as we are

'Cause we only have limited ti-i-ime

[Chorus]

And the air was filling my lungs

Autumn was filling your lungs

We're just trying to be young

But little do we know that trying to be young

Is what is making us grow old

[Outro]

I just wanna let go

Predator Racing Group

 Series
 Value

 HQ
 0.2/5
 Expectation
 Pressure

The **Predator Racing Group**, frequently shortened to **Predator**, is a team in Motorsport Manager, competing in the European Racing Series at the start of each campaign. **Predator**, based in Australia, are the weakest ranked team in the game, having the smallest budget, weakest car, worst HQ and lowest ranked driver line up, factors which associate the team with The Underdog Challenge.

## Background

Predator start a new career as the new boys in the European Racing Series, devoid of experience and major funding, leading to a close knit team. Yet, the team are identified as having fantastic potential, with young drivers and staff all having the potential to develop.

## Starting Stats

As the team with the smallest starting budget in the game, Predator have the poorest stats of any team, leaving a new manager with a very low expected finish of 10th.

### Headquarters

Predator start the campaign with two facilities, the Factory and the Design Centre, both of which are at level one.

### Drivers

At the start of a new career, Predator are assigned three drivers: Ines Santa Ana, William Evans and Katie Linares. Of the trio, Santa Ana is the highest rated at 2.1 stars, although she is considered to be on Equal status with the 0.9 star Evans. Linares starts the season as the reserve driver, rated slightly lower than Evans, and with only ten months on her contract.

 Ines Santa Ana | Equal
 Williams Evans | Equal

### Car

Due to their low ranking at the start of the opening season, Predator are ranked tenth across every developable part. The car also has relatively low base stats, rated 1/5 in improvability, 0.5/5 in tyre heating, 1.5/5 in fuel efficiency, and 0.9/5 in tyre wear.

### Staff

Chairman **Darren Luff** has very low expectations for his team during the opening season, fully expecting the team to end the year bottom of the pile in the European Racing Series. Scout Aaron Burgess believes that the drivers are not among the strongest in the series, but have potential to be front runners given time. The rest of the crew consist of young Lead Designer **Charlotte Williams** and Race Mechanics **Tom Woodbridge** and **Oscar Deveritt**, all of whom can improve to three stars or beyond.

### Sponsors

Predator start the opening season with two sponsors signed: Carne Blanco and Rogerson Ales. Their marketability ranking starts the season at 16.7%.

## Strategy

 Primary

Being that the team starts with minimal funds and that the sport is incredibly expensive, the most important initial step is to increase marketability. This is best achieved by dropping starting drivers, Evans first (due to much lower contract break clause) as soon as possible and taking on drivers willing to sign for Predator with "sponsored driver" perk if possible. This will allow to get extra funds for fielding them since they bring their own sponsors.

Guildford

**Guildford** is a track in Motorsport Manager. A former airfield, Guildford is fast and flat with lots of challenging corners which suit an aerodynamically efficient car.

## Layouts

### Layout A

At 3.47 miles, Layout A is one of the longest tracks in the game and is the main layout for the track. From the start/finish line there's a short run to the first corner, a fast, left/right chicane (**Oak** - named after the large tree in the infield). From there drivers head down a short straight, then take the fast right-hander at **Brutus** (named after the sponsor of the tyre bridge), then up a straight to the medium-speed **Tower** chicane (for the nearby airfield control tower) and to the slowest corner on the track, the **Fire Station** hairpin. The track gently curves right, then left before cars reach the **Runway** complex, a tricky left/right/left combination that sets them up for another left hander (**Playsport**, after the local company who sponsor a large billboard there) which leads to the fast right/left of the **Esses**. Cars then brake sharply for the 180° **Church Bend** (named after the nearby church) which can be a good overtaking spot for those brave enough, and line themselves up for two technical double corners, the right/left of **Sega** and the left/right of **Depot**. Drivers sweep around the flat-out right hander at **Pond** before diving into the chicane at **Festival** which leads back onto the start/finish straight.

### Layout B

Layout B follows the route of Layout A until the final section of the Runway complex, where it continues down the **Runway Straight** before the fast right of **Mosquito**, which feeds into the second part of **Festival**, where Layout B rejoins the main track.

## Usage

Guildford is used in the World Motorsport Championship and the European Racing Series.

## Trivia

The town of Guildford in surrey is the home of **Playsport Games**, the developer of Motorsport Manager.

The large church next to the track seems to be based on Guildford Cathedral, although in real life this is on a hill by the university, not beside a racetrack.

1. ↑ All corner names are the author's own and not official in any way. They are inspired by features of the track and by names of corners at similar British race tracks.

Insane Sometimes

## Gallery

"**Insane Sometimes**" is a song by Grace VanderWaal that is featured on her debut album, *Just The Beginning.*

## Background

This song is about drowning your thoughts out with music and accepting that everyone's crazy, even though we try to hide that side of ourselves in public.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tap your foot and watch the clock

I tried to look excited when you walked inside the door

But it was all for show

I need to get it all out of my mind

Just blast some music and close my eyes

Mmm oh, got me singing like woah-oh-oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Turn it up and I'll sing it loud

And just shut the world out

See the colors

Feel it in my bones

It goes, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

Spin the record, oh darling

Inside of my mind

And let's just go-go-go

And lose track of time

Here we go, on this crazy ride

Here we go, in this crazy life

And oh-oh

'Cause, 'cause don't you know?

We're all a little insane sometimes

[Verse 2]

Louder and louder with every thought

Shaking the floors until the pictures fall off the walls

The walls

[Pre-Chorus]

So we'll turn it up and I'll sing it loud

And just shut the world out

See the colors

Feel it in my bones

It goes, oh-oh

[Chorus]

Spin the record, oh darling

Inside of my mind

And let's just go-go-go

And lose track of time

Here we go, on this crazy ride

Here we go, in this crazy life

And oh-oh

'Cause, 'cause don't you know?

We're all a little insane sometimes

[Bridge]

Don't you know?

We're all a little insane sometimes

[Chorus]

Spin the record, oh darling

Inside of my mind

And let's just go-go-go

And lose track of time

Here we go, on this crazy ride

Here we go, in this crazy life

And oh-oh

'Cause, 'cause don't you know?

We're all a little insane sometimes

We're all a little insane sometimes

Base Director

**Base Directors** are important **Staff Members** charged with setting up bases, and assigning/managing their members and the work done. They can manage one or multiple bases, and work under the orders of the Base Supervisor, Nimitz. You need to be at least a Member within the Vortex Coalition to apply as a Base Director.
Tour Centre

The **Tour Centre** is a building you can construct in your Headquarters. Once built it provides a regular income every race.

## Details

Level 2 Factory

As with all the other two money making buildings (the Road Car Factory and the Theme Park), the annual income from the Tour Centre is fixed (at £1.28 million) but the income is spread over the races in the season. In the WMC with 16 races per year it will provide an income of £80,000 per race, for an ERS team with a ten race season it will make £128,000 per race.

## Strategy

Although the income from the Tour Centre is relatively small, it only takes 1.2 seasons for it to pay for its construction and start making a net profit so is a good and relatively cheap early investment for most teams.

**Panther Race Team**, frequently shortened to **Panther**, are a British racing team competing in the World Motorsport Championship.

They are heavily based on Red Bull Racing.

## Background

Panther's starting budget is £6,000,000, only the 6th-highest in the WMC, but still above average. Countering this, the team have the best Staff at the start of the game, and the third-best car.

## Background

A team that were building for years, Panther Racing have now achieved top-tier status in the WMC. They're the 3rd best team after rivals Steinmann and Rossini, and the player is expected to lead the team to semi-consistent podiums and wins right from season one.

## Starting Position

An average starting budget of £6,000,000 might not be enough for a title challenge, but the team absolutely has potential to be regular podium contenders and win the odd race.

### Headquarters

The most developed starting HQ in the game, Steinmann Motorsport enter the first season of career mode with a level three Factory and a level four Design Centre. The team also start with a level two Test Track and a level one Wind Tunnel, the most expensive developments to build from scratch. Other facilities include a Tour Centre and Helipad, while the team also opens the maiden campaign of the game with a level one Scouting Facility.

### Drivers

 Zoe Sharp | First Driver
 Nikolai Surikov | Second Driver

### Car

The Panther Race Team car starts the game as the third strongest in the WMC. Having the best Gearbox and Front Wing in the series means they'll be amongst the favourite at low speed circuits but the relative weak engine and rear wing, ranked seventh and eighth respectively, will mean they struggle on faster tracks.

### Staff

Panther have the best staff in the game and their pit crew is rated third best in the WMC.

  Rachel Adams
  Darian Frihet

### Sponsors

Sponsors are a weakness for Panther, being only the eighth best in the WMC.

 Primary

## Strategy

Drivers **Zoe Sharp** and **Nicolai Surikov** both have 5-star potential, so even if you aren't a fan of one of them, keep them on and keep them happy and they will reward you.
