    I got it cheap. Sure it's older, but so am I. Loads of content, I guess online is mostly dead, but the variation in disciplines for single players is mad, excellent value for the money. FF is good.

    Well to begin with, The sounds are great, the feeling is there, the FFB is nice. Well now after all the game is pretty much dead but its still a very good solid simulator. I recommend it!

    This is the closest budget "Gran Turismo" you'll have, focusing on Motorsports, especially Brazil. Don't expect some real progression because everything is unlocked, but there's a ton of Championship, so it's better than nothing. 4.8/5 - Need some polishing in some areas and needs a custom Championship, but overall very good! Definitely one of my favorite Racing Simulators and Racing Game. It's just a budget, mid-peformance friendly Racing Simulator a la "Gran Turismo" (or closest), with…

    Played with a Moza R3 wheel and SRP Lite pedals, played a lot of AMS2 before getting this and zero regrets. Amazing FFB, Physics and some very high quality mods available for a game based on the pioneering physics engine of the sim racing universe, the famous gMotor2 which pathed the way for future sims. CART extreme, V8Factor Unleashed, MX-5 Cup cars combined with the vanilla content plus whatever other mods you're into will cover most your driving sim needs. (will add some other notable high…

    I've played 3 racing games for the first time week, Forza Motorsport 2023 via game pass, Crew Motorfest via a free to play trial, and this via a key trade. This was the only one that didn't look like I had Vaseline smeared all over my screen. I don't know what it is about recent games and the overprocessing that makes them look like garbage but it seems to be infesting everything. I also played this for about twice as long as the other 2 combined and had fun for 95% of that time. There are…

    Don't buy it if you havea g923, you need older logitech software for this sim and g923 is not compatible. You'll have full force centering spring with it while racing, and the workaround where you pause and cancel is unreliable and frustrating.

    Grand Prix Evolution is my reason for going back and it does not let me down. Having all 4 Geoff Crammond games almost perfectly simulated into a package is something else. On Jerez in a 2001 F1 beast a brake failure happening because i was rough with the car is amazing. Fracturing suspension arms because i rammed a kerb hard is fantastic. Tire physics done properly are something ive not seen in other games and watching the ai slide as their tires are melting away is fun. Built in spotter so i…

    Game has aged like fine wine, and cheese of your liking. Mind you though that the cheese isn't moldy or anything it's just one type of many which is delicious and so is the driving with emphasis on aged (wine) because this game feels like the end to an era (ISIMotor) whereafter probably new and more great (and tasty too) things await.

I was no expecting a lot in this dated simulator much. but It sums up with a lot more. Make sure to bough all bundle together with AMS1, every penny worth. .

    Utterly fantastic... mostly. The cars feel pretty damn real; my jaw dropped when I first bought this and messed with some basic FWD cars. My car is just a regular FWD, and I like to mess with similar cars in a sim just to check it out. Driving with my FFB wheel, I honestly felt like I was driving a real car. It was crazy. There's a huge selection of vehicles to drive, and then there is DLC on top of that (I think you can get all of it for 35 American dollars), but check what's there before…

    it is a fairly common behavior, but off the top of my head, Automobilista 2 and Assetto Corsa (vanilla and Competizione) both need whatever controller to be connected before the game starts.

    Stupid me for having this GEM in my library without playing it more than some hours as I just did. AMS driving-module is no match for any other title. Maybe rF2 can be considered very close, and for sure LMUnlimited (based on rF2 and more updated) is superior. But there isn't any AC, ACC, ProjectC, iRacing that can give the "feel" of controlling your tyres on asphalt like here. And not only for one category in particular: every type of vehicle behaves as it should, from karts to trucks,…

    I'm far from being a sim racer, and using PS5 controller must admit this is a superb racing game. I've got it for 0,99£ and I'm having a absolute blast racing with AI ! Plenty of mods out there with cars and tracks. Probably will try AMS 2 when it will go on sale and hopefully it will deliver a nice career mode which his one is missing. All in all still very good in 2026!

    No Full Controller support. (you navigate the menus with the mouse) The UI is pretty outdated and confusing. Extremely outdated Graphics (looks like rfactor from 2005) Most content is locked behind DLC (you have to give them more money)

    Overall 4/5 stars - ★★★★ Although it's old, I still come back to it. The car graphics are great, the track graphics are not so great, but the physics and handling are fantastic. The sound could use some improvement, it's average. If the newer titles like Assetto Corsa or AM2 don't work with your setup, I'd highly recommend this. You can customise cars, set up custom events with rules, and enable assists - similar to Gran Turismo to some degree. It's definitely more realistic than Project Cars,…

    Surprisingly good simulator, with aids you can play it on gamepad and still have fun. AI are not pushowers, maybe little bit on agressive side. Also is good game for non-South american motorsport fans to experience some SA circuits. Plenty of content, lots of open wheel cars.

    I really liked Dispatch too. The thing keeping it from my top 3 however is it not being woke enough, somehow. It's still really good and I recommend it. I've also had a ton of fun with Automobilista 2, which I still feel has the best VR implementation of any racing game.

    Look. GTR2 is the best realistic racing game of it's era and free if you know where to look. Automobilista 2 will forever get discounts during Steam's sales and is improving. We don't need something that's those two games mashed together and made by a neo-nazi. Do not buy Project Motor Racing.

Works great with a 3rd party xbox style controller and overall a joy to drive a huge assortment of vehicles ranging from F1, brit cars to even sports truck and drift cars.

    It's a good game. Buy on sale, tho (specially in Brazil). I was a bit skeptical with this one. Ended up biting the bullet and it was a happy surprise. Driving feels good (not as good as AC, but good nonetheless) Track and car selection is decent (it supports mods, so i didn't care too much). UI is bad, but not frustrating and and it lags a bit when changing classes on main menu (it probably load up all the models upon change). Graphics are quite dated, driver animations are not excellent…

    Good physics, steering requires a little adjustment, I set 360 degrees for myself (Logitech steering wheel and pedals). Brakes seem to be a bit of a problem in most simulators, here you have to pedal them with force^^. I especially liked the Formula V10 cars and the others are pretty nice too. Special tracks, a few classics Oulton park, Snetterton, South African GP 1976 - I think there should be more classic tracks. The game ran pretty well although it did crash once. Worth a try!

    Dated, but still one of the best sims, especially on weaker hardware. Would be great for private tourneys/lans - not the most detailed simulation but its consistent and predictable. Something about the way the cockpit camera, visual effects, FFB and physics come together make it feel incredibly natural to drive with minimal tweaking. It really is a shame this game wasnt more popular and recognised. + FFB and physics is great, one of the closest to rFactor as it uses the same engine, except…

    The original Automobilista was under rated... It came at a time where games with "modded gmotor" were getting old. I think it suffered from a marketing issue, just from the name alone. I know it had to break away from "Game Stockcar" to make sense for the content within. #simracing #automobilista
