F1 Manager

F1 Manager is a DOS Formula 1 team management simulation released by Germany's Software 2000 in 1996. Rather than driving on track, players take charge of an F1 outfit and handle every off-circuit responsibility: negotiating engineer and driver contracts, securing sponsorship deals, directing aerodynamics and chassis research, scheduling test sessions, and calling race-day strategy across the authentic 1996 season calendar. Detailed management dashboards and workshop news feeds keep operations transparent, while financial planning, merchandise licensing, and technical trade-offs add meaningful depth. It stands as one of the most comprehensive early F1 management titles on the European market.
