Notes

  • Mar 2022: The preview picture of the bundle mentions GRID and DIRT 5 as well, but so far they are not included in the bundle. See this screenshot.
  • Assetto Corsa Ultimate Edition is not available as a store package, thus cannot be given away as such. You can give it away as Assetto Corsa base game only (3 CV), or as any of the DLCs included (for example Assetto Corsa - Red Pack for max CV: 6.99 CV)
  • NASCAR Heat 5 - Ultimate Pass is not available as a store package, thus cannot be given away as such. You can give it away as any of the included DLCs.
  • A Steam key for iRacing can be generated on the account page but to run the game on Steam you need to log in with the same account that generated the key. (source)

LMK if racing games make you jump with joy – but ELI5!

View Results
[Tier 1] You can't go wrong here for a buck, IMO.
[Tier 2] rFactor FTW, I won't be able to resist.
[Tier 3] TFW you don't own anything and it isn't gonna be that cheap elsewhere.
[Skip] I don't even want to drive a car IRL.
[BTA memories] The silent phasing out of BTAs is yet another cruel restriction of our liberties and life opportunities. SMH... Down with IGN!
[Slightly-more-DLCs complaint] After Assetto Corsa + Dream Packs & Assetto Corsa Special Bundle they now bundle Assetto Corsa Ultimate Edition? I really CBA to buy even more slightly different copies of an already owned game.

Instead of getting some bundle to support Ukraine, Ukrainians will get 2 games less in current pretty meh bundle. IGN can piss off, tbh

Didn't really enjoy a really good racing sim for many years now. I don't know, there always seems to be something wrong with everyone i play. I kinda did enjoy Project Cars 3 for it's arcade style. But i uninstalled after few hours play due to lack of interest and the unacceptably long loading times. And yeah, Trackmania is an exception too which i really enjoy (but not really a racing sim) and the new version on Uplay is really good. I always enjoyed Gran Turismo games as well.

It has been added to the bundle. Or rather the Ultimate Pass includes everything the Season Pass includes and more.

Yeah but you can’t make a giveaway as the season pass. I tried and got told by the mods that the ultimate pass doesn’t include the season pass and thus cannot be given away as such. So why has it been reduced if it cannot be given away?

Thank you very much. With "removed" you mean that they removed Russia from the Countries the key could be activated, right? At least that is how I read that entry within SteamDB: They added Russia to the list of Purchase restricted countries on March 4th, thus since March 4th keys for Nascar Heat 5 can no longer be activated in Russia.
Or am I reading it wrong?

Yeah since march 4th you can no longer redeem nascar 5 keys or buy the game in russia

Thank you very much. Than I read that right.
Means the ROW keys are no longer ROW keys and can be activated anywhere but Russia. Good to know. I will have to delete and redo the giveaway, then.

Recently many publishers have done this because of the war in the Ukraine. Just check steamdb and and look at the info page for the package for example https://steamdb.info/sub/440232/info/ it will tell you if it has been disabled.

It's already mentioned in the OP that the ROW key can't be activated in Russia. Perhaps you missed this when you checked the region locks info?
Also, thank you for the nice words! ☺️

I must be blind, then, because I only see "can be redeemed everywhere apart from Russia" for the Ultimate Pass, not for the base game ^^ Anyway, now I know and I am a little smarter now.

Normally, if that's the case, you get an entry for the key but trying to reveal results in a message along the lines of "oops, we ran out of keys. We will let you know when they are restocked."

It's actually worse than that. They don't have keys for all the games, and current purchases either don't receive all that's advertised, or in some cases even receive locked keys that they can't activate in their region because they messed up the key allocation.

This bundle was available again for a few minutes under the name "The Ultimate Racing Sim Bundle Upgrade" (in the variant from Dec 2022 with all tiers combined and no coupons), but WITHOUT Automobilista.
The expiration date was set to 14 days from the bundle launch.

Presumably this was launched by mistake and will be available in the near future.
