Pretty sure F1 23 has no auto throttle either.
you are correct, but it works for my 4 y.o. 'cos the game tries to keep him on the track as much as possible and auto reset the position when a crash happens. He never wins but he accelerates in intervals, some longer than others, and he is happy with the speed.
Do you nephews have any love for open world space-themed building games? Would they enjoy
Space Engineers? It supports both survival and creative modes. The former is a standard resources grind as you go mining for resources at larger and larger scales, refining the raw resources into ingots, and then into parts, and then those parts can be used to build awesome planet or moon bases, space stations, rovers, ships, etc. Of course the creative mode skips the grind and lets you just get to building. There isn't any compelling storyline, although there are a few inbuilt "scenarios" where you're given a set of tasks and limitations to overcome.
The only downer is you'll need to fire up the dedicated server, which does not require a license but does require a Windows box to run it. As long as your main gaming rig has at least six CPUs and probably 16GB of ram or more, you could host the server instance alongside the normal gaming instance on the same PC. For my own home, i run an instance of the dedicated server as a virtual machine on my Proxmox host.
now that you mention, my 6 y.o. asked me yesterday for a game where he could build houses and so on. I guess something similar to Minecraft. It's not the first time he asks for something similar, but I don't know many games like that.
Other times he wants to play games featuring aircraft. The other day both asked me to play a pirates game

, and so on and so forth.
I've checked the game you mention. The creative mode is what I like the most. As for the CPU and RAM, both should be fine in my rig. The game is single player though, that's the main issue. If they could play together, and interact as usual, they would have fun building things with a controller.
They pay me a visit once a month, twice a month, 3 times a month... it depends. But they are long visits and they play quite a few games.
The absolute hitters for them are Rocket League, Paw Patrol games (I told them once "hey, what are you doing in the water?", my nephew; "he lost them, I am looking for the glasses of Captain Turbo"

), F1 23, Disneyland Adventures, easy to play arcade split-screen racing games and the odd shmup with aircraft here and there.
In that sense, PC gamepass has been a great source of games to play with the family. There are Paw Patrol games, some "me against the neighborhood" beat em ups, Disney games, etc. Also because the gamepads work better for some reason. On Steam I have to disable Steam Input in certain games for both gamepads to work, dunno why.
