Automobilista 2 2026 Development Preview

Grooooop 5 baby!

 

This is really important; the game already has a lot of content, and without a career mode, choosing between cars and tracks becomes a bit stressful. The presets are also incomplete and have limitations; they could be converted into a customizable championship in addition to the preset option for individual races.

I missed two clarifications:

1 - Are national categories like Stock Car or NASCAR Brazil off the radar?

2 - Regarding the long list of requests for bug fixes in the pinned report post, could you provide feedback such as "noted," "in progress," and "completed"? New content is very welcome, but it's important to fix what already exists, such as all off-road content in terms of rules and AI.

That said, a great 2026!!

 

Incredible!!! So much good news in this article that I'll probably need to reread it several times. You've perfectly summed up the type of gamer I am: a passionate gamer with little time who just wants to have fun. I must say you're a fantastic development studio, congratulations! You can count on me for AMS2 and your future projects. But please, add a street track, a short oval track, and a Middle Eastern track to diversify the circuits. The rest is perfect.

 

Mid-save is a must-have option for endurance entusiast like me. Thanks!

 

Fantastic news, Renato!
Honestly, you can really feel how much you love motorsport and the competitive spirit behind it. The improvements to the detailed competition rules are truly remarkable.

I really hope they will also work in multiplayer — that would almost give you a unique selling point.

One important thing: please don’t forget the weather. There should definitely be more slots and also an adjustable rain probability per slot.

I’m very excited and thank you all for your hard work!

 

Reiza and Renato, I'm not easily lost for words, but you guys just accomplished this. Holy moly. This is everything I, and many others, wished for and much more! What a way to start 2026!

Content wise, I'm more than excited for what's coming. (if only the guys at Ferrari would make their minds up).
Feature wise, I couldn't think of anything else that I would have liked. It's everything and more, all within the limits of what is possible with this Engine of course.

As a closing note, I agree with Renato. AMS2, though not perfect, has become my main sim. It's easy and quick to set up. Yes, you need some practice, but contrary to some other sims on the market, AMS2 is a breeze. (And great in VR)

 

Unfortunately, none of the cars you mentioned are from 2005, 3 are 2006 V8's and the other is a 2008 V8.

 

I wet my pants at the sight of the Super Toruing Audi. Hopefully, we'll have 3 or 4 different super tourers to play around with.
PS: Everything looks great!!

 

You are simply the best!

I waited for years to join the Paddock - never got the chance, because I just missed it and was not that involved with the community at the time.

Even if I own the whole game atm, I will definitely join the Paddock for whatever amount even if that means I technically dont get my moneys worth, I can support you guys even further

I hope the thread keeps a friendly vibe and doesnt escalate in wishful thinking, the long gone days of critisizing Reiza on so called promises and overhyping the preview

 

In-cred-i-ble. Just when you think it can't get any better Reiza say "don't go anywhere!"
Not sure if it's been mentioned but having Oval rules (current/historic) and white flags would be soo cool.

 

Incredible stuff here. I really hope to see soon more info on how the custom BoP works, eg is it determined by host? Requires a dedi to use? No matter how it works, it'll be huge for leagues wanting to have events with some not so balanced classes

 

What a fabulous first post for the year - couldn't ask more from a developer.

 

Great news! Excited for career and everything else sounds great really

 

I wasn't sure we'd ever get the British touring cars in this game, they are usually among my favorites to drive in racing games they are in. Very happy to see they'll be added eventually. Also a fan of the German touring cars as well as I already like the older ones in the existing game.

 

An influx of new motivated beta testers within the Paddock Club would sure be a great thing as I suspect many people that entered it years ago are not active anymore. And reading that great dev preview for 2026, there will sure be a lot of stuff to test.

 

Imagine driving the Lotus79 in the classic Zandvoort layout... OMG...

 

Just amazing. Mid race saves, limited tyre sets, more cars and tracks, career mode. I'm so happy to be part of this journey with you guys. Every new update is something to look forward to. Keep up the amazing work

 

Highly impressed by the new goals for 2026. Looks really promising! The upcoming 1990s British Touring Cars/2005 for German Touring Cars are going to be popular for sure.

 

Thank you for the update. Very exciting list of cars on the way.
