No more than a few days ago, we mentioned a recent newsletter update Reiza posted talking about upcoming updates to Automobilista 2 and reasons for delays in development. The main issue causing delays to the game's next release was the content scheduled to go live with v1.4.6.1.
The latest update for Automobilista 2 dropped last night though and brings plenty of improvements. From exciting content, including a free to all players addition, and many game improvements and new features, here's everything to know about the new AMS 2 drop.
Unlike the historic version of Bathurst, the second piece of content included in this most recent update is free to everyone with the base game. The Formula Inter is a lightweight, entry level open wheeler raced primarily in Brazil.
As we mentioned in our previous post concerning Automobilista 2, a historic version of the Nurburging is also in the works. However, with plans to recreate the Sudschleife as well as the Nordschleife in its 1971 guise, progress seems to be slower than expected. The newsletter released a few days ago stated that, although meant to launch with the new update, a release towards the end of March is more likely.
Among these changes is the ability to alter the pit speed limit for custom championships. Not all real-world series run a 50kph pit speed like the GT World Challenge for example. Being able to alter this gives players' custom championships a new thing to think about when it comes to driving through the pits.
The game also now features cockpit lights for a variety of cars. Endurance-focused cars like the Cadillac DPi, McLaren 720S GT3 and BMW M4 GT4 will provide much more night-time immersion thanks to this small yet noticeable change.

New car and track in AMS 2
Bathurst is one of those infamous tracks that every race fan knows and recognises. But Reiza has given the track some AMS 2 time machine magic recreating the venue as it was back in 1983. Fewer barriers, closer trees and a time before the Conrod straight was broken up by The Chase. This new track completes the Historic Track DLC alongside 1988 variants of Cascais and Jerez.Unlike the historic version of Bathurst, the second piece of content included in this most recent update is free to everyone with the base game.

Bug fixes, features and more
Along with the pair of content drops, Reiza also released a fairly sizeable update to its game. It Mostly features bug fixes and minor game improvements such as changes to the way the AI work out race strategy and traction control adjustments on several cars. However, there are a few interesting additions that should enhance the game's immersion further.Among these changes is the ability to alter the pit speed limit for custom championships.
