Driver 2: Update 1.5.5.0 and Endurance Pack Pt. 1 available!

As promised in the Development Update Reiza has released update 1.5.5.0 for Automobilista 2, accompanied by the Endurance Pack Pt. 1, which adds the Circuit de la Sarthe, home of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, to the simulation of the Brazilian team Internal Bugatti Circuit, three LMDh class cars (BMW M Hybrid V8, Porsche 963 and Cadillac V-Series.R) and four new GT3 class cars (BMW M4, Mercedes-AMG Evo, McLaren 720S Evo and Porsche 992 GT3- A).

The DLC will be free for the first few days, until Reiza updates the catalog of its paid packages on Steam. Among the "known problems" Reiza cites the headlights, which are not yet equipped with a high beam for the flash and the ERS model of the LMDh cars: the performance of the power units and charging and delivery are quite accurate, but the model current model does not fully simulate all the characteristics
of the hybrid system. Both things will be fixed and improved in future updates.
