Featured Automobilista 2 2026 Development Preview

I'm very hyped about this content, CanAm, Grp 5, lemans sports cars, old dtm & btcc is the content of dreams for me.

I didn't get chance to read through the rest of the updates btw so it's not like i'm not excited about that either, i think i'm most hyped about this sim more than any other.

 

Hi all,
Would we have Le Mans 70's + 80's + 90's layouts ?
Would be great !

 

Exactly, why does it matter what people want to do in single player?

 

Except that the save feature will have some hard technical limitations (+ some caveats) probably making saving "anywhere" impossible. There was a recent thread discussing, about "would you like the ability to save races even if it had some limitations ?" but I cannot find it.

 

Mid race saves

 

The limitations - at least that's what can be expected after following this game for more than half a decade by now - will most likely be related to Livetrack and track state and weather being different when you restart a session compared to when you left off. Livetrack is what leads to some unusual compromises in AMS2 in general, eg the inability to skip ahead in replays. Everything else pertaining to the mid-session-save should encounter the same difficulties or non-difficulties as in any other game.

Main thing I'm unsure about is how they will make the rejoining process work.

 

I am quite satisfied with most things, but what other tracks can be expected? I see that F1 tracks from the 80-ies, 90-ies are surprisingly well represented. No problems there.
But... Indycar still lacks several important tracks. I only wanted one track from IMSA schedule, and that's missing - streets of Detroit. Despite that current layout is not the best, that could be used in F1 of the 80-ies, and even in CART (89-91) schedule... + Portland, MidOhio... I liked Belle Isle. And that's it. From F1 I only miss Mebourne.

 

I appreciate the "reflections" portion, Renato. Perfectly aligns with this middle-aged casual with limited rig time's take on AMS2. I try to spread my love evenly across many sims, old and new, but AMS2 always seems to capture most of my time over the last couple of years. Just a fun sim with a spread of content not found anywhere else outside of something like a heavily modified AC and with AI, while imperfect like most, that is among the best to be had in sim racing in my unprofessional opinion. Being able to throw the VR HMD on and bounce between eras, classes, tracks and vehicles spanning such a huge spectrum with minimal effort and fuss is just awesome.

Very happy to see that Reiza is healthy and on the front foot heading into 2026. Very much looking forward to the team's efforts this year!

I've seen some folks throw some dream content commentary out in this thread, so I'll just say AMS2 and the MX5 Cup series would be a match made in heaven and would align great with the existing racing systems and tracks! A man can dream.

 

I would also like to see Brno, Portimao, Zolder (current and historical), Zandvoort (current and historical), Monaco (historical), and Rouen included as routes.

 

The 90’s BTCC cars would be awesome

 

Since DTM class 1 car is about to be released, I think SuperV8 can be replaced with real V8 Supercars. Although the current model is not much different from reality, it still has some room for improvement
