Where Are Automobilista 2 Save Files Located?
Automobilista 2 uses Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame with a numeric profile ID. Profiles and setups sit below it.
Last updated
Automobilista 2 follows the Madness engine layout: a Documents folder with a savegame subfolder keyed by numeric ID. That number is your user wrapper, so every guide path with digits in the middle means the same thing on your PC with your digits.
Profiles hold controller and graphics settings. Setups sit in a versioned folder beside them. Do not delete the whole savegame tree to fix one bad setup. Remove the single profile or setup file instead.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Automobilista 2 saves to a new PC?
Copy the whole Documents\Automobilista 2 tree. The numeric folder is your Steam ID wrapper. New machine, same path, and everything returns including controller profiles.
Where do downloaded car setups go?
Drop the files into Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame\<id>\automobilista 2\vehiclesetups_1_6. Match the numeric folder already on that PC. They appear in the setup menu per car and track.
Why does AMS2 reset my settings every launch?
Controlled Folder Access in Windows Security is the usual cause. Allow AMS2 through it or the game silently fails to write profiles and resets to defaults each launch.
