F1 Manager 24 will add new Create A Team mode with release this summer

Frontier has announced F1 Manager 24 will release digitally this summer across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC, bringing a new Create A team mode into the mix for the game’s career mode.

Andretti Autosports would do well to pick up a copy of F1 Manager 24 to live out their dream of creating a custom F1 entry – it’s still up in the air if it will ever work for them in the real world – with the new Create A Team adding an eleventh option for the F1 Manager 24 Career mode, alongside the 10 real world teams.

This will let you style the team in your image, from creating the livery to negotiating sponsorship opportunities, and all the rest of the team management gameplay, as you try to chart your course through to the front of the grid. Regardless of the team you pick or create, you’ll be the Team Principal, of course, charged with managing the team’s resources, sticking to the budget cap, hiring staff to improve your performance, managing training schedules and more, and you’ll also be investing in HQ improvements to further that. You’ll have to fight to keep your best staff around as rival teams look to poach your best and brightest.

Alongside the career is the returning Race Replay mode, which will lift the events from the real world racing calendar and ask you to try and beat a particular challenge. The highlight in F1 Manager 23 was getting Alonso a win at a wet Monaco, while from the early races in 2024, it could be taking charge of McLaren or Mercedes during last weekend’s Saudi GP, following Lance Stroll’s crash and safety car.

However, it’s not quite there with the overall presentation, and there’s some AI quirks that you need to babysit through race weekends, whether you’re fighting for every point possible or
