Just in time for Easter, Reiza Studios has deployed an update for Automobilista 2. New to the sim are three cars that already have the v1.6 tire physics changes on board, as well as other smaller adjustments.
Another milestone update to Automobilista 2 is in the cards for this summer, as Reiza Studios Founder and Lead Developer Renato Simioni recently told us. He also mentioned a smaller update to come out before that - and this update has arrived just in time for Easter, changing the AMS2 version number to 1.5.6.1.
While not full of big, ground-breaking changes, the update does offer a small glimpse on things to come in v1.6 further down the road. It does this via three new cars that have been added via v1.5.6.1 - namely the 2024 Brazilian Stock Car Pro series as well as a revamped Formula Ultimate Gen 2.
The latter now resembles current F1 cars much more closely than the vehicle used previously. These cars already feature reworked tire phyiscs that were mentioned in the March Dev Update and will come to all cars in v1.6.
And there is a new place to race, too. Well, sort of - the Betonschleife layout has been added to the 1971 Nürburgring rendition in AMS2. Previously, Reiza's loving recreation of The Green Hell as it was after its first big renovation phase featured the Norsdschleife, Südschleife and the combined Gesamtstrecke. Now, the small Betonschleife, which uses only the start/finish area with turns at either end, joins them.
Many more small changes have found their way into Automobilista 2 v1.5.6.1 as well - find the full changelog below!

Visuals & A New Track Layout
Meanwhile, work on improving the visuals has continued. More realistic water shaders, 3D trees at numerous tracks, dust being kicked up by cars when running off the racing line or in dirty parts of a track are all part of the latest update.And there is a new place to race, too.
