About This Game

21 championships. 7 disciplines. All running at once.

Automotive Empire runs the whole motorsport pyramid as one living world. Karting, rally, touring cars, stock cars, endurance, open wheel and GP championships advance together, week by week. You start with one kart team. 172 rival teams recruit, research and spend on the same calendar.

Design and reverse-engineer parts, build them in your own CNC plant, and run a road-car business to pay for the racing. Drivers and staff have contracts, loyalty and ambitions. Races play out lap by lap with pit calls, weather, safety cars and failures.

Free demo coming soon. Wishlist now to get it the day it drops.


Start with a single Kart, a small team and a big dream.

Build your way through the world of motorsport, climbing from Karting towards the pinnacle of GP racing. Discover the drivers who could become legends. Recruit the people who can turn your ideas into reality. Design faster cars, push technology forward, win races and reinvest your success into the next challenge.

But you're not racing alone.

Your rivals are building too.

Every breakthrough you make is an opportunity for them to catch up. Every driver you discover could be stolen. Every Credit you spend could be the difference between a championship-winning upgrade and a season of disappointment.

Automotive Empire simulates the entire motorsport pyramid as a living ecosystem across 7 disciplines and 21 championships running simultaneously:

• Karting: Where every legend begins

• Rally: Gravel, tarmac, snow. Survive the stages or be forgotten

• Touring Cars:  Door-to-door combat where millimeters decide champions

• Stock Cars:  Thunder on the ovals. Drafting, aggression, pure spectacle

• Endurance Prototypes:  Hours of relentless pressure. Machines and men pushed to the limit

• Open Wheel:  Precision, aerodynamics, and pure speed

• GP:  The summit of motorsport. Only the best survive

Every team has ambitions. Every driver has a price. Every decision you make ripples across the entire world.

Build your team from the ground up by discovering drivers and recruiting the mechanics, engineers, designers, strategists and managers you need to succeed.

Develop young talent into future champions, hire experienced stars when you need results, and manage the personalities, ambitions and relationships within your organization. Build loyalty, or risk watching your best people join a rival.

• Sign drivers at every level of the pyramid. Develop or steal them

• Build your technical empire: Designers, Team Principals, Strategists, Pit Crew, CFO and more

• Staff have personalities, ambition and loyalty. Treat them well… or lose them to your rivals

Winning starts long before race day. Research new technology, develop and upgrade your cars, and decide where to invest your limited resources to gain an advantage over your rivals.

Develop everything from aerodynamics and chassis to engines, suspension and gearboxes, while experimenting with new technologies, reverse engineering components and taking on ambitious R&D projects.

Your rivals are developing too, so today's advantage could become tomorrow's weakness.

• Research and develop every component: aero, chassis, engine, suspension, gearbox and brakes.

• Deep R&D System: Design, Upgrade, Reverse Engineer, pursue Special Projects, and develop Commercial Car lines

• Manage a realistic supply chain and deal with the World Racing Association

Put your preparation to the test as you follow races lap by lap and make the decisions that can turn the result in your favor.

Manage tire strategy, pit stops and race pace while reacting to changing weather, safety cars, mechanical problems and unexpected events. A great strategy can overcome a performance deficit, while one bad call can throw away a race you should have won.

• Deep lap-by-lap simulation with real strategic depth

• Live calls: pit windows, tire strategy, safety car reactions

• Mechanical failures, unpredictable events and on-track chaos mean no two races are ever the same

Running a successful team takes more than trophies. Manage your finances, negotiate sponsorships, manufacture and sell commercial cars, and buy and sell racing components in a changing market.

Decide whether to spend on performance, facilities, talent or future growth, then turn your success on the track into the resources needed to build an even bigger organization.

• Live Global Commercial Cars Market: manufacture and sell road cars to fund your racing ambitions

• Live Economy & Racing Parts Market: buy, sell and trade components in a dynamic market

• Negotiate sponsorships, manage your brand, and control the finances
Expand your campus with up to 20 different buildings, creating the facilities and infrastructure your team needs to compete at higher levels.

Every upgrade gives you new opportunities to improve your cars, develop your people and strengthen your organization as you climb through the championships.

• Campus with 20 Buildings: construct and upgrade everything from wind tunnels to driver academies 

You are not the only team chasing the next breakthrough. Rival organizations recruit drivers, develop technology, manage their finances and compete for the same championships, creating a constantly changing competitive landscape.

Out-develop them. Outsmart them. Outspend them, or find another way to beat them.

Start with a single Kart. Build the cars, the team and the business. Climb from Karting to GP and become the Automotive Empire your rivals fear.

• Scale from scrappy privateer to global automotive powerhouse
