Reiza Studios have released their Automobilista 2 December Development Update. In it, you can read all about what is coming up for the racing sim. We'll briefly go over the main points here.

Updates on Upcoming DLC​

6 packs of DLC have been announced to still release for the 2020-2022 season pass. Their release dates have been pushed as seen below.
  • Supercars Pt 1 - December 2022
  • Brazilian Racing Legends Pt 1 - December 2022
  • Historic Track Pack Pt 1 - December 2022
  • Nürburgring Historic 1971 - January 2023
  • Adrenaline Pack Pt1 - Q1 2023
  • 6th Premium Track - Q1 2023
  • Racin´ USA Bonus Pack - Q2 2023
If you have already purchased the 2020-2022 season pass, all these pieces of content will be available to you without any problem, despite the fact some of them will be released in 2023 only.

Supercars Pt1 DLC Overview​

The Supercars Pt1 DLC will include the road-going versions of 3 modern supercars.
  • Corvette C8 Z06
  • McLaren Senna
  • Brabham BT62
Especially the Brabham is intriguing to me, even though those cars can presumably only competitively be driven in one-make races.

Brazilian Racing Legends DLC Overview​

Brazilian Racing Legends will include several cars in which Brazilian racers had some fortune.
  • Brabham BT49 Cosworth V8
  • Brabham BT52 BMW I4 Turbo
  • Lotus 98T Renault V6 Turbo
  • McLaren MP4/4 Honda V6 Turbo
  • McLaren MP4/5B Honda V10
  • McLaren MP4/6 Honda V12
This pack includes exclusively open-wheelers, so fans of those may rejoice!

Historic Track Pack Pt 1 DLC Overview​

Some classic race tracks will be making their way to AMS2 this month still.
  • Cascais 1988
  • Jerez 1988
  • Bathurst 1983
We'll cover the other DLC once they get to release.

AMS 2 Welcomes Nissan into its Family​

Furthermore, Nissan will be making its debut in AMS2 soon. The following cars will be available.
  • Nissan R89C Group C
  • Nissan R390 GT1
  • 2017 Nissan GT-R GT3
The inclusion of Nissan in AMS2 is one that was severely missed. However, this has now been reverted with license agreements finally coming around!

Updates on Further Game Developments​

Not only the content received some attention in this December Update.
Here's a list of things Reiza Studios has been working on:
  • Adjust Pit Speed Limit - users will be able to adjust that based on their own preferences, between 60 and 100 km/h.
  • Motorsport Presets - Don't worry, this one got nothing to do with another company named Motorsport. This setting is to select race rule presets based on several IRL series.
  • Physics - The flood of classic content apparently requires some physics adjustments that need to be worked into AMS2's code.
  • Force Feedback - This also needs adjustment to work with the classic content.
  • New Cockpit Display Functionalities - Several inclusions like TC and ABS being visible on the dashboard.
  • AI Developments - New cars and tracks cannot come without adjustments to AI.
Now, there are also plans for other things to edit. Here's a list of the todo's on Reizas agenda:
  • Multiplayer - This will receive some work, apparently Reiza have found out much stuff about that and are confident they can make improvements in 2023.
  • Content - A new DLC has been teased, the "Adrenaline Pack DLC" will be worked on, featuring dirt oval and rallycross racing.
  • Some sort of Endurance Racing content. Will we get yet another sim racing competitor in the race for WEC/IMSA racing?
  • Modding Support - Or at least making modding and installing mods easier. Make sure to keep an eye out on the AMS2 Modding Database here on RD for current and future community generated content.
  • Career Mode is also apparently being worked on with a targeted 2023 release.
This concludes the comprehensive list of updates from this December blog post.

Of course, this is only a roundup. You can read the full thing in all its glory here.

What do you think of this massive list? Looking forward to what AMS2 has in stock? Let us know in the comments down below!

No one cares. The fact in the matter is that the content is going to be available in the coming days opposite to what you were saying. Whether you use it or not it is your choice and your problem.

Can someone report a bug for me? (I don’t have a login on Reizas forum)
If I select a race with the McLaren GTR on Spielberg or Spa 2020 with 9 opponents and select Same Class and start Player Last, I always get 9 Porsches as opponents. Not any McLaren or Mercedes.
Thank you!

Thank you for your effort.

Forgot to mention: I have 10 custom liveries for the porsche GT1 (no custom liveries for the McLaren and Mercedes). Problem only occurs if I select 10 or fewer opponents (Same Class). All opponents will be porsches.

If I select 11 or more opponents, the grid will be mixed with McLarens, Porsches and Mercedeses.

Or is this intended behaviour? If so, it will make installing custom liveries a lot less fun.

I think it prioritizes custom ai drivers, so if you choose a class that includes at least one of it, it will fill the grid with the rest of them. Maybe you can create fictional ai drivers for the other brands and it will honour your choosed classes

Oh boy! BT52 my new favourite, I absolutely love that engine. That's my ideal, I also had no idea how powerful it is! It's epically crazy trying to race it.
Damn, but I am over the moon with this game :laugh:

Yes, Le Mans seems to be the big DLC track coming up. Maybe in time for this year’s 24 hours?

Lemans without swap drivers sounds like Pcars2, i hope they work on systeam and change inner core of the game, that´s when we will see true changes and advances

Congrats to Reiza, they are working very hard, and it´s a pleasure seeing all care they put on every car, but we need some core changes, to get distance from Pcars2, and erase all bugs and same system, i hope reiza could find a way to change car physics and could change inner game core, meanwhile we´ll enjoy this new exciting content, thank you Reiza, good luck for 2023 year

This is the third time you've mentioned the delayed Nurburgring. We heard you the first time.

Are you going to cry? Is that all you have noticed at all in the update?
Haters will always be haters :D

haters, trolls and wiseacres will always prefer to mention the 2 bad things instead of the 50 good things.
Its their mantra.
Repeat again and again until it rules. :roflmao:
