AUTOMOBILISTA Motorsports Simulator is coming to Steam on Q1 2016

[Renato Simioni]

Successor of Stock Car Extreme, new racing simulator by Reiza Studios will be free to all current owners of SCE

AUTOMOBILISTA puts you in the driving seat of an advanced racing simulator to deliver a uniquely diverse motorsports experience!

As the natural successor to Reiza Studios´ previous title - the highly regarded Stock Car Extreme, originally released in 2013 - AUTOMOBILISTA continues to simulate premium Brazilian racing series such as Stock Car V8, Copa Petrobras de Marcas, Formula 3 Brasil and Mitsubishi Lancer Cup, now packing every car and every track from their respective 2015 championships.

Beyond the brazilian core, AUTOMOBILISTA is extensively complemented with one of the most diverse selections or racing vehicles to be found in a racing game: only in AUTOMOBILISTA will you be able to jump from a rental kart to a 800-HP F1 car; from drifting a Rallycross Evo X to jumping ramps in a Supertruck; from mastering the driving basics in a Formula Vee to managing a full 24h race in an endurance prototype; back and forth through time with historical and modern content including a sample from several decades of Grand Prix racing - all of this and much more within a few mouse clicks. Thoroughly researched and cohesively developed for maximum simulation accuracy, AUTOMOBILISTA captures the fun only motorsports in its various forms can provide.

In addition to the content already present in Stock Car Extreme - all of which comprehensively upgraded - AUTOMOBILISTA turns it up to a new level by adding all the new cars & tracks proposed in the SimRacing Bonanza crowdfunding campaign, new simulation features such as dynamic track conditions, advanced transmission and tire modelling, substantial upgrades to physics, graphics & audio, new game modes and much more!

SPECIAL OFFER - AUTOMOBILISTA free to everyone who owns Stock Car Extreme on Steam by January 5th!

AUTOMOBILISTA is an evolution of the project presented by Reiza´s successful crowdfunding campaign in July 2015. Originally proposed as an extensive free update to Stock Car Extreme, AMS has grown further to become a completely independent release from SCE - it will however remain free to everyone who bought Stock Car Extreme up until January 5th 2016.

Therefore if you already own SCE on Steam, AUTOMOBILISTA will become immediately available to you upon release!

SCE owners who have not yet activated their copy of Stock Car Extreme on Steam should do so before January 5th 2016 by retrieving their Stock Car Extreme Steam key here, and activating it on Steam. It is not necessary to install SCE on Steam - just have it activated there to ensure your free copy of AMS. This will have no effect on your SCE installation outside Steam, where serial numbers will remain functional (owners who had previously made the switch also have had their NonSteam Serial Numbers reactivated).

Upon launch, AUTOMOBILISTA will sell for US$ 39.99 so for those who don´t yet own Stock Car Extreme, this is a special opportunity to get both SCE now and simultaneously ensure a free copy of AUTOMOBILISTA - all for the current price of Stock Car Extreme (currently selling for the special Steam holiday price of US$ 22.49 / R$ 89.99). This special offer is available only until 5th January 2016, as from January 6th 2016 onwards buying Stock Car Extreme will no longer warrant a free copy of AUTOMOBILISTA.

AUTOMOBILISTA - Motorsports Simulator will be released exclusively on the Steam platform during Q1 2016.

Sorry, 1st i wait for some details and news about the ISI Engine 2.5 Features, and
Reizas Informations, what they can optimize and perform for us, before my
rejoice have no limit ;-)

We dont need a GSCE "1.5" with same Cars and Same Tracks an same Engine, with
small optical improvements...dont forget..we have now year 2016, and pCars, AC, RRE,
are still in front and Forza 7 an Granturismo 7/Sport waits for us all!

I missed this thread during the year end, so if I buy today SCE on STEAM, will I get my Automobilista Key as well?

Please don’t speak for the general simracing community by saying "we".
It’s more like "you" don’t need that. Personally I’m looking forward to Automobilista.

What do you mean "WE" don't need? Speak for yourself, bro. AMS is free (at least for some of us here), and I will very gladly take whatever comes my way with the Reiza logo on it.

Easy there cowboy. some of us stopped looking at those titles as sims, maybe as simcades at best and some are just straight up games. Not saying a game can not be good but it can never replace a sim in my book.

 

[Óscar Melero]

Stock Car Extreme seems to be one of little few who deserves to be called sim.

Proof?

Pick a title (AC, PCARS, RRE, GT, Forza, etc) and crank up the AI difficulty to 100% in a race of 2 laps.

Did you won?

Yes. -> It is not a sim.

No. -> It is a sim.

That's a bit simplistic now isn't it?
There's more to a simulation than fast AI.

Although SCE does almost everything right apart of that too i have to agree.

 

[Leonardo Chaves]

Is there any kind of confirmation that your transfer was succesful?

Totally agree, but that's a how to know what's a sim and what's not for all this "but the graphics and sound are better!!!" or "let's be honest, who really knows Stock Car Extreme compared to *insert simpretender*???" people.

A friend, who I'm trying to introduce to SCE, bought pCars via Steam and played with his steering wheel. He won the 3 lap race and said:

"See? Skills."

I personally bought SCE because it looked hard in Empty Box's videos and it could represent a challenge for me. But the reason I stayed (and will stay even in AMS era) is because this friend having a 3 lap race against 100% AI in pCars and saying

see? skills.

I laughed at that situation and I will do even thinking of it.

SCE owners who have not yet activated their copy of Stock Car Extreme on Steam should do so before January 5th 2016 by retrieving their Stock Car Extreme Steam key here, and activating it on Steam.

I purchased an additional GSCE non-Steam key for my brother on January 4 and immediately sent an e-mail to sales@reizastudios.com with my Bluesnap receipt info to get a Steam key. I still have not received a reply. Since the Steam key was not entered into Steam by January 5, does this mean Reiza has to "manually" give me an AMS key when it becomes available?

 

[Deleted member 130869]

So, after we have received and installed Automobilista. Can we, uninstall GSCE?

The moment Patrick Giranthon reupdates the CART 1998 conversion to work with AMS, yes .

They're on 2.0 so you either be satisfied with the very similar look in AMS, or upgrade to a different sim.

 

[xnorb]

Pick a title (AC, PCARS, RRE, GT, Forza, etc) and crank up the AI difficulty to 100% in a race of 2 laps.

So you're binding the simulation definition on the AI algorithm?

I'd rather focus on physics modeling:
But of course only very very few of us are race engineers who have access to actual data and know what should happen at which moment. And even fewer of us are actual race drivers who know how the cars should feel.

We all should be very happy about the rich diversity in our little niche market and rather promote the qualities of the sim we love than belittle titles we don't like that much.

 

[P*Funk]

As far as I'm concerned AMS won't be a sim until someone converts Virtua_LM's Sebring.

As someone that only races online I totally dislike the "rich diversity in the niche market" it is making more bad than good. Especially the ones that created the "sim racer" generation that has graphics as #1 priority and lack total common sense to put on a table "number of simulated stuff + quality of simulation" before comparing if a sim is better than what they prefer thus creating a holy grail war that is rather stupid.
And to be honest not a single sim is where they should be considering the evolution other games had since the first gen of sims appeared.

@Kobay you messed up a little of things...
why people don't read first post carefully?

I didn't mess anything up. I purchased GSCE on Jan. 4. With the method I purchased the key, I couldn't use the web site form to get the Steam key, so I sent an e-mail as instructed. It's not my fault that I did not receive a reply by Jan. 5. I specifically wanted a non-Steam key, and I purchased it via an official channel, so I did not do anything wrong.

 

[Will Mazeo]

No panic... Renato has siad a few times he'll help people that didn't manage to get it on Steam till January 5 (only those that bought the game before this date ofc) so you are fine
