New Automobilista Brit Pack DLC Previews

[Paul Jeffrey]

Reiza Studios have released several teaser images from the upcoming 'Brit Pack' DLC for Automobilista, a new paid DLC package that brings three highly regarded British circuits and a number of cars to the game.

Reiza have been fortunate enough to gain access to laser scan data and have taken many reference photographs to aid in the development of Oulton Park and Brands Hatch, helping the studio produce arguably the finest track recreations Automobilista has received to date. Additional to the three popular British circuits, the 'Brit Pack DLC' also introduces several new Caterham models, road and race versions of the ultra-lightweight Ultima, a fictional Formula Ford type vehicle and the MCR Sports 2000 prototype to the title.

Release of the 'Brit Pack' DLC has been delayed somewhat from the initial prediction of late September 2016, however Beta backers do have access to the new content and some of the version 1.1 build improvements due to be implemented when the public facing version of AMS hits our digital library in the coming days.

The Brit Pack DLC is due to land for Automobilista very soon. DLC "Season Pass" holders will receive the DLC package at no additional cost. The season pass is available as part of the Membership Package that currently sells for a discounted price of $24.99. More information about the Reiza Studios Membership Package can be found here.

I ran one of the Caterhams around Brands Hatch earlier... very very fun!

 

[Jebus]

Caterhams are real guuud! And probably gets even better for the official release. Also tracks and the rest of the cars in the Brit pack are all top notch.

 

[Richard Crawford]

I've never been to Cadwell or Brands Hatch but Oulton Park is my local track and the AMS version is absolutely spot on. Right down to the speaker placements, marshals posts and even where the bins in the spectator areas are.

 

[DaVeX↯]

Ok now we need just a couple of tracks from @Patrick Giranthon and we can have a proper RD Brit Cup with MCR2000...right?Even a RD BTCC with Marcas...wooohooooo!!!!

 

[Boby Kim]

The Caterham is so fun to race

 

[Alex Townsend]

RD BTCC!!!!

 

[Szymon Olizarowicz]

@DaVeX↯ I would personally go for formula ford or caterhams, but your idea is still good. unfortunately, from what I've seen in the race club forums, there's only a plan to do another mini league, which for me would be boring as sh*t, but I'm sure others will enjoy it. I can't even drive the minis so I would have to give it a pass.

 

[Paul Bennett]

I think the Brit pack has Reiza's best handling cars

 

[DaVeX↯]

I can't even drive the minis so I would have to give it a pass.

...and this is why I think MRC2000 and Marcas are good for all, paddle shifter, rwd and fwd but easy to drive, not much power and no need of particular setups...but hey, mine was just an idea, I don't know if I can race too lol

 

[thatmotorfreak]

I'd get it for Brands Hatch and the Caterhams. The Formula Fords seem worth a try too, seeing how entry-level drivers race them.

 

[M D Gourley]

Just had the last download completing the Brit Pack last night...the Caterhams are fantastic to drive and sound amazing...tried all 3 of them around the 3 Tracks in the Brit Pack....very enjoyable indeed.

I bought the Season Pass to acquire AMS Beta, but it seemed to have all the cars (and all three Brit tracks) EXCEPT the Caterhams. Did I miss it somewhere. .?

 

[Paulo Gomes]

@Paul Murphy you should have the caterhams in the second page of AMS beta, try to log off steam and then log on again. Some times you need to do that, for a game be able to update

 

[Paulo Gomes]

If that doesn´t work, just send reiza a private message through their forum! driving a caterham made by Niels Heusinkvel in a laser scan track is something that you don't want to miss

 

[Paul Murphy]

Thanks, Paulo.. I'll try all this when I can and let you know.

 

[Nick Gregory]

When Niels said that 1st and 2nd gear in the Ultima (the road version) is pretty much useless, he isn't kidding.

Not entirely true, I've found them to be useful smoke generators.

These cars are so ridiculously powerful that I'm scared to drive them in a sim, how the hell do people drive them on the road?!?!

well I guess you usually don`t rev your road car to max rev limit while driving on public road .. ultima on low rps is fine on 1st or 2nd ..
