What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 163 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (2,335 of 2,606 positive).
Players praise the game's physics, force feedback, and mod support. [1][2][3] Some note the game is dated but still a solid simulator. [4][5][6] Several reviewers complain about controller and wheel compatibility issues. [7][8][9]
- [7]
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.

- A ton of quality content. - Many great & free mods available. - Runs on a potato. 3 for 3.
- [2]
Great FFB, challenging physics, decent A.I. and can run on virtually any system. This is a fantastic sim and it's very underrated.
- [5]
Driving is good. Looks a bit dated, but the driving and FFB makes up for it.
- [3]
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 …

77% of the 163 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Automobilista. The complaint that keeps coming up: outdated graphics and UI. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

60 of 227 · most liked firstA whole bunch of racing games were cheap recently, and there are so many that it's difficult to look through them all. What do you recommend looking out for in future?. Title edited as it has been pointed out to me that the sale has actually ended I picked up Descenders and Absolute Drift. Only tried the latter so far, but it's great fun. Feels like there's an extremely high skill ceiling to it that I am unlikely to reach. It only cost me £1 too! I normally go for sim racers like Assetto…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

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.

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.

The game engine and physics is quite familiar with RFactor series. But more refine in car collection and more consist in tyre models, which also came from the tweak from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a long time, I only played Project Cars 2. I've got like 2,500 hours in it on playstation lol. I like hotlapping to relax, but much prefer a nice clean circuit race with other drivers. I don't play on playstation any more and have been trying to find my new game, but not so successfully. I like Automobilista 2 because it reminds me *a lot* of PCars2, but I've also been playing a bit of RaceRoom and Dirt Rally 2.0. What is your preferred game / race format?
positive · AI labelView post →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.

neutral · AI labelView post →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,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Top notch physics & FFB, and a good selection of cars that you can download season skins for. Reiza have made a great simulator here!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Posted a reply in the official Automobilista 2 forums about how years after release the game still kinda sucks and reliably detecting one's wheel and pedals, and they re-worded it so it was nicer, after the fact? Very weird.

neutral · AI labelView post →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,…

Definately one passed over by the community regards modding etc but there is enough stuff out there to warrant loading it back up to give it a try .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.

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).
