You dont have to have flawless graphics to have a good game, thats a tad short sighted and narrow minded to be honest.

I used to enjoy the F1 manager game years ago. Had a nasty habit of crashing though, and even that game had shoddy graphics.

Its well overdue to be releasing another decent manager game I think. Does the game have realistic teams, etc? It doesn't look from the box like its a licenced title.

its a bit complicated... i have both RTL & GP World manager.... RTL looks more modern but GPW although outdated is by far the best manager F1 game.... Again u have real driver & team names here. I am yet to finish a full season on RTL... somehow i find it a bit boring compared to GPW.

Like Andy pointed out, u dont need to have excellent graphics to make a good manager game.. it shud have a good sim engine... RTL is not very realistic.

Still am waiting for F1 CM or better to come out..

For that matter.... any new sim based on F1 hasnt evolved much since the EA F1 99' days!
