Automobilista 2 May 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt1

Mosport is one of the few racetracks still with its original layout from all the way back in the 60s, that alone puts it above Detroit imho. This weekend LMP2 and GTD will be racing on the same layout that legends both past and present across multiple diciplines of tarmac motorsports.

A track where Jackie Iyx and Chase Elliot ran the same layout, Dan Gurney and Ron Fellows ran the same layout, John Fitzpatrick and Jordan Taylor ran the same layout, Bobby Unser and Austin Cindric ran the same layout.

Whether it's F1, Can-Am, Stock Cars, motorbikes, Trans-Am, GTP, GTD, GT1, USAC, LMP1, or even Motocross Mosport had been there, done that and has the T-shirt. It's up there with Watkins Glen when it comes to history, and is only surpassed by Indianapolis on that front. A track where despite its reputation is somehow underrepresented when it comes to its importance in the history of motorsports, back in the 1910s and 20s it was one of the crown jewels in Grand Prix racing second only to the Traga Florio itself.

 

Yes but no GTP at mosport this weekend

 

Yep, but they were there last year, and the original GTP also raced there in 1982.

 

I feel like the team may be busy watching WEC at Interlagos this weekend. I know I would be.

 

One of my favorite GTPs, wish AMS2 had more of a complete Group C / GTP line up

I actually have a spark diecast model of that exact car. It won at Riverside

 

The team is busy working on the game, we've been getting updates in beta with a number of improvements (seriously how many game developers release updates even on weekends?). I wouldn't mind them taking a break to watch the WEC race though seeing all the work that is being done for this 1.6 release.

More info will be posted in due time. I'm sure a lot of people will like the IMSA track pack. Imo it's the best track pack in the game.

 

So that includes the new Detroit... right? RIGHT?!!!!

 

Yeah definitely, they should take their time and watch tomorrow's race. I have the feeling is going to be a good one with a bunch of traffic

 

No, it includes a fictional track in the shape of a lizard with only 90 degree corners

 

I miss two tracks from AMS: Caruaru and Mendig. Did I forget some?
And Copa Petrobras de Marcas.
As 100 % single player I nevertheless hope the game will assert itself in multi player and find the recognition it deserves.

 

Oh Swedish cheese being odd? Aren't Swedes eating spoilt fish from tins?

 

Yes and that’s why it was odd, didn’t taste of fermented fish

 

Don't tease me like that bro... I don't think my heart could handle that kind of hype

 

As for 1.6...

 

That good eh? wow...

 

Miss Ribeirao Preto too

 

A great track that I'm very sad was omitted for AMS2

I fear the same fate for Belo Horizonte

 

I hope Detroit and Belo Horizonte will be added to AMS2. It would be great to have more streets tracks. Surfers Paradise, St Petersbourg and Singapore would be amazing though

 

Yes to all of these from me too

I adore Surfers Paradise too btw, probably one of my favorite tracks of all time. I'm sad we never have a first party version of it in any sim.
