Honest comparison · reviewed 6 August 2026
Gonky Racing vs the other Automobilista 2 platforms
This page compares Gonky Racing with the platforms competing for the same moment: finding a race, organising one, running a server or keeping what happens on track. It is not a brochure. Where another platform is better, we say so.
How to read this comparison
- ·Everything we claim about Gonky is measured against our production database, not estimated.
- ·Everything we claim about another platform comes from their public website, checked on 6 August 2026.
- ·When we could not verify something we mark it as “unverified”. We never turn that into a “they do not have it”: not finding it does not mean it does not exist.
- ·If you think something is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
First things first: we are not the biggest
We are young: our first race here is from April 2026. Today we have 8.751 drivers and 69.824 recorded laps, against the 318.824 users and 126.648.141 laps Low Fuel Motorsport states on its homepage. We are telling you ourselves because you would find out anyway, and we would rather you read it here.
Size will come. What we already do today is what nobody else does: turn every AMS2 race into something that stays with you.

What we do and we have not found anywhere else
Passport
Your progress by country, track and each specific layout. Not a results table: a map of where you have actually raced.
My Garage
Mileage, history and results by brand and by car, including the ones you have never tried.
Guides for your hardware
FFB settings per wheel model and graphics settings per GPU, not generic advice.
Maps built from your telemetry
Track layouts generated by the drivers themselves through the Pilot Manager.
Aggregated AMS2 streams
Who is streaming AMS2 right now, with priority for our own drivers.
Driving radar
Five axes taken from your races: consistency, cleanliness, speed, performance and regularity. Not an overall grade — where you fall short.
Driver head-to-head
Ten metrics for two drivers, side by side. Good for settling an argument with a friend, and for knowing who is next to you on the grid.
Open statistics
The platform totals, public and with their methodology: races, drivers, laps and kilometres. Anyone can quote them — or prove us wrong.
Everything in six languages
Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
What others do better than us
Scale and full grids
Low Fuel Motorsport
They have far more drivers than we do. That is a matter of time and connected communities, and it is exactly what we are working on.
Sign-ups and closed grids
Simracing.GP, JustRace, Emperor
Pre-registration, slots and entry lists. We run open races and do not offer that mode yet.
Automatic splits by level
Low Fuel Motorsport, Simracing.GP
They divide the grid into groups by rating so you race against your own level. We run a single grid: in a busy race you can end up with drivers far above or far below you.
Multiple simulators
JustRace, Grid Finder, Simracing.GP
If your community races several sims, a multi-sim platform saves you duplicated work.
This is today’s snapshot, not us settling
We are four months old. Every box above is on the list, and the list is public: we would rather show you what we are working on than promise you dates. Our goal is not to draw level — it is that a year from now this same table reads differently, and we will publish it again even if it does not flatter us.
See the roadmapWhat do you need right now?
I want a ranked race, now, with people in it
At four months old we do not have a full grid at every hour, and we are not going to sell you one. That said: where you race and where your history lives are not the same decision. If your community connects its server here, every race you run builds your profile, your rating and your Passport — and that does not go away.
I run a championship with sign-ups and slots
Pre-registration with slots and an entry list is not something we have: our races are open. If your championship truly needs it, we are not your tool today and we would rather say so before you waste an evening. It is on the roadmap, and meanwhile you can connect your server so the races count for your drivers.
I want an AMS2 server without the hassle
We do not rent servers: the Node Manager is free, installs and configures the server on your PC and leaves it connected to the platform in the same step. If you would rather not provide a machine, rental exists for a few euros a month; what none of them include is those races becoming profiles, ratings, records and championships.
I already have a community and a server, and I want every race to count
This is where we are strong: profile, rating, Safety Rating, licence, records, Passport, Garage, calendar, championships and a community page, all fed automatically from your server.
I want to understand AMS2: which DLC, which car, which settings
It is the most complete thing we have: wiki, 230 tracks, 282 cars, DLC guide, FFB per wheel, graphics per GPU, VR, setup, strategy, tyres and pit stops.
I am looking for leagues in any simulator
We only do AMS2, and that is a decision, not a limitation. If you split your time across five simulators, a general directory covers more ground. If AMS2 is your thing, here you get 230 catalogued tracks and 282 cars, guides for your exact wheel and GPU, and real race data no horizontal directory has.
If that last one is you, start here
Signing in is free with Steam. If you run a community, you can connect your server and watch the data arrive during your first race.
Where each figure comes from
Gonky Racing figures were measured against our database on 6 August 2026. Data about the other platforms comes from their public pages, checked the same day. We have not bought any third-party paid plan: what sits behind a login or a paid tier may differ.

What we could not verify
The SimGrid website blocks automated access, so we could not check its features or its figures and it is not in the table. We also could not review what sits behind other platforms’ paid accounts.
