Automotive Empire

Start with one kart. Take the whole pyramid.

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

Automotive Empire runs the whole motorsport pyramid as one living world. Karting, rally, touring cars, stock cars, endurance, open wheel and GP: 21 championships advance together, week by week. You start with one kart team. 172 rival teams recruit, research and spend on the same calendar.

• Karting: where every legend begins.

• Rally: gravel, tarmac, snow. Survive the stages.

• Touring cars: door-to-door, where millimetres decide titles.

• Stock cars: ovals, drafting, playoff chases.

• Endurance prototypes: hours of pressure on car and crew.

• Open wheel: precision and aero, on road courses and ovals.

• GP: the summit. Only the best get there.

Stock cars, oval open wheel and rally sit beside GP, in the same world, with the same rivals.

• Five R&D pillars: Design, Upgrade, Reverse Engineering, Special Projects, Commercial Cars. You will never fund all five.

• Build parts in your own CNC plant and homologate them with the World Racing Association.

• Every upgrade is a trade-off between performance and reliability.

• Sign drivers at every level, develop them in your academy, or steal them from rivals.

• Hire designers, team principals, strategists, pit crews and a CFO. Your staff bring you proposals; you decide.

• Contracts, loyalty and ambition: treat people well or lose them to a rival.

• Lap-by-lap simulation with weather, tyres, safety cars, penalties and radio calls.

• No pause: pit windows and strategy calls happen in real time.

• Mechanical failures and incidents mean no two races play out the same.

• Build and sell road cars in a live global market. The road car pays for the race car.

• Buy and sell racing parts; commodity and fuel prices move all season.

• Negotiate sponsorships and manage your brand.

• Expand a campus of up to 20 buildings, from wind tunnels to a museum.

• Commercial buildings earn more as your reputation grows.

You are not the only team chasing the next breakthrough. Rivals recruit drivers, develop technology and fight for the same championships, so the world keeps moving without you.

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