Free to play

US Steam price, checked 5 h ago

The verdict

A free, bare-bones rFactor-based Brazilian stock car sim with solid physics and force feedback, but it needs a wheel and lots of setup. Skip it if you play on keyboard or gamepad.

Great for

Wheel owners who want a free, low-spec taste of sim racing before Automobilista

Main risk

Controls and controller setup are a mess, so you may be unable to drive without a wheel
