Motorsport Manager: GT Series

The GT Series DLC for Motorsport Manager was developed by Playsport Games and published by Miniclip, released in 2017. It arrived as a major content expansion that shifted the game’s focus into closed‑wheel GT racing, presenting new series and technical systems designed to change strategic priorities and on‑track behaviour.

The pack adds two GT championships — the GT Challenger Series and the International GT Championship — plus purpose‑built GT cars that operate on a modified simulation model with different braking, cornering and tyre‑wear characteristics. A central feature is a new Energy Recovery System (ERS) that can be deployed in Hybrid mode to save fuel or in Power mode to provide short bursts of overtaking performance, alongside ballast rules that affect practice flexibility, three‑stage qualifying, altered pit and tyre dynamics and larger, tighter pack racing that encourages close combat and strategic ERS usage.

Promotion for the GT Series emphasised the fresh gameplay layer and spectacle it introduced, using trailers, screenshots and developer posts to showcase ERS mechanics, tight GT pack racing and the new qualifying formats. Marketing targeted players seeking deeper tactical variety, highlighting how the DLC changes race-day decision making and invites different approaches to car development, team finances and on‑track strategy.

Reception among players was generally positive, with praise directed at the added strategic depth from ERS, the intense close racing the GT cars produced and the new qualifying complexity. Some community feedback raised concerns about balance tweaks and the learning curve required to master the new systems, but overall the GT Series was regarded as a substantial, well‑implemented expansion that broadened Motorsport Manager’s gameplay and replayability.
