TLDR: AMS2 not complete yet, AMS1 complete and an amazing simulator that feels great to drive + so many mods + modded VR support

As a quick note, I became an early backer of Automobilista 2 shortly after it was announced. The allure of Reiza's cars and tracks in pretty Madness Engine graphics with wet weather means I was near instantly sold. The new additions such as the BMW M1 Procar and late 90s GT1 cars show massive potential of what the future holds for the sim. What I forgot to factor in is that the game will be improved upon for a long time and not necessarily "complete" at the moment.

Until it's declared finished and I can judge it as such, my favourite sim is still AMS1 without a doubt.

Even though it doesn't support VR natively, that's been modded into the game, among the many other mods that have made the jump over from the rFactor days. Without modded cars and tracks, Automobilista still holds its own extremely well with the unique choice of circuits and racing series provided, many from Reiza Studios' home country Brazil. My eyes have been opened to the fast, flowing circuits of Goiania and Cordoba, the tight street tracks of Salvador and Riberao Preto, and the short but satisfying Velopark. Of course, if you want something more well-known and laser scanned, there's DLC for Hockenheim, Imola and Adelaide, modern and various historic layouts to whet your appetite.

The cars, some of which are monsters if you don't treat them with respect, even feel natural after you get to grips with them. The Formula V12 is the most rewarding car to drive on the edge, with the constant thought of oversteer on corner exit in the depths of your mind. I recently took the V12 for a race around the narrow streets of Salvador against over 20 AI and while I did end up upside down, crashed into by another car, I still enjoyed every moment.

It's near impossible to describe how enjoyable the driving is to someone who hasn't played Automobilista, but I would easily say confidently that it's worth the money at full price. Especially the ultimate edition, that's an absolute steal!
