PitWall Motorsport Manager

You are fourteen years old, in a borrowed kart, with a regional title to win. Pit Wall is a driver-career motorsport manager: one driver, seven rungs, and a long way up.

THE LADDER National karting, European karting, world karting, then Formula 4, 3, 2 and 1. You start slower than most of the grid and a year older every season. Nobody hands you a good seat.

RACE IN REAL TIME The race runs lap by lap on a clock you control — pause, or push it to five times speed. Watch the whole field on the circuit map, placed by their gap to the leader, and talk to your driver while it matters: attack, hold, conserve the tyres, or defend. Cars within a second fight for position, and whether the move sticks depends on your overtaking, their defending and the circuit.

STRATEGY THAT COSTS SOMETHING Mandatory pit stops from Formula 4 up, and two dry compounds in F2 and F1. Tyres go off, and the screen tells you how many laps a set will really last before you choose it. The forecast tells you roughly when the weather turns, and how sure the team is.

TEAMS AND CONTRACTS Eight two-car teams per category, each with its own machinery. You take a real seat with a teammate to be measured against. At the end of a season, teams make offers: a front-running car in the class you know, or the back of the grid one rung higher. You choose.

MONEY Prize money, a salary and sponsors who pay a retainer plus a bonus for hitting their target. Spend it in the garage on the car or on the driver — the car stays with the team you leave, the driver comes with you.

A CAREER THAT ENDS Seasons are recorded. At forty you hang up the helmet and see everything you did, then put a new fourteen-year-old in a kart.
