Fans will define their sporting stories as an F1 Team Principal; choosing to forge their own path during the 2024 season and beyond with the exciting new Create A Team mode or leading an official Formula 1 Team in Career mode. Fans will also be able to relive and redefine the action in the returning Race Replay mode, where they will be challenged to deliver improvements on real race results.

For the first time, fans can live out their ultimate fantasy by bringing their own team to life, with customisable livery and logo creation tools giving them control of their team’s unique branding. Team Origins provide total customisation of their team’s starting conditions, whether they choose to enter as a total newcomer, or to target an immediate spot amongst the title contenders with major investment and an all-star line-up. Team Principals must also directly manage their stable of sponsors to deliver both engagement opportunities and results to bolster marketability and attract future support.

At the pinnacle of motorsport, F1® Team Principals are responsible for ensuring every individual is motivated and believes in their ability to achieve their goals amidst fierce competition. With the introduction of the all new Mentality System, players will have greater understanding than ever before into the personal ambitions and characters of their team.  Managing people and personalities, Team Principals will see the impact of their decisions directly influence drivers and staff mentality; prioritising one car’s performance risks building an inter-team rivalry. Failure to keep their stars happy will present rivals with opportunities to poach talent, disrupting the team’s trajectory towards the top.

Players who pre-order ahead of launch will receive an additional exclusive Create A Team preset livery replicating the F1 2024 Show Car.

Those wanting to enhance their experience with F1 Manager 2024: Deluxe Edition will also receive 10% off the suggested retail price of £39.99/$44.99/€44.99.  

Deluxe Edition further expands fans’ creative options with five additional classically inspired patterns, providing additional Create A Team livery options, whilst an additional five fictional Race Replay scenarios offer unique single-race challenges.

Building their legacy across multiple generations, Team Principals can secure rising stars by recruiting them to the new Affiliates system, allowing young drivers to continue their careers in F2™ and F3™ whilst receiving training and development from the player’s F1® team. Fans can experience this evolution of the sport across multiple seasons and plot their own route to the top with the option to simulate entire races, build their credentials in the paddock by making the leap to a competitor, or adjust their challenge with difficulty settings. 

Across each visually enhanced circuit on the official 2024 race calendar, fans will aim to execute the perfect strategy; instructing their drivers to extract every millisecond of performance. As tyre wear and temperatures increase, so too does the risk of an incident. Much like their real-world counterparts, players will need to think tactically as they strive to mitigate and capitalise on the ever-evolving challenges and opportunities mechanical failures bring. Players can choose to watch the action unfold from a range of immersive camera angles; feeling the rush of acceleration with Visor-cam, directing the race from trackside and onboard cameras or even taking to the skies with the debut of the strategic Heli-cam view as the simulation brings the racing action to life with greater realism.

F1 Manager 24 is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on July 23, 2024 at £29.99/$34.99/€34.99.
