Frequently asked questions
What is the Gonky Racing wiki?
It is the guide and data index for the Automobilista 2 community: licences, DLC, cars, tracks, servers, standings and rules.
Which guide should I read first?
If you are new, start with How Gonky Racing works. If you want to buy content, use the DLC guide.
Does the wiki use real data?
Yes. Car, track, ranking and race pages are connected to real activity recorded on Gonky Racing servers.
Does the DLC guide link to cars and tracks?
Yes. Each DLC links to available internal pages and car/track pages show a DLC badge when mapped.
Where do I look if I want to run my own server?
Run your own dedicated server covers the Gonky Node Manager, and the community management guide explains sessions, rotations, events and championships.
Can I publish my own mods on Gonky Racing?
Yes. In the modder studio (/modders/studio) you create your author page and upload cars, tracks and liveries with their licence; they reach drivers through Pilot Manager and you see how many races are run with them.
