Featured Automobilista 2 2026 Development Preview

So much to be grateful for with this update.

So glad that I picked this sim. Much of the competition recently have been dropping the ball and Reiza meanwhile is consistently improving everything and sticking to their plans.

Absolutely fantastic, great times ahead

 

I have to agree. AMS2 right now is comfortably the best sim out there and the 2026 upgrades will make it even better.
I'm only into single player sim racing, multiplayer doesn't interest me one bit. I was looking forward to Project Motor Racing but it has far too many issues. I really tried to like LMU but it just doesn't do it for me, same with Raceroom, I just don't like any of the cars in Raceroom plus the lack of dynamic weather.

 

Reading through the dev log everything looks amazing, but, I hate to be "what about this feature" guy, haven't seen anything regarding AI using different tyre compounds. Can we expect this feature in 2026?

 

I have the same fear, but Renato did post that there's a lot of stuff not written on the preview that's being worked on. Lets cross fingers that the AI using different tire compounds is one of them.

 

If Paddock Club membership reopens, would the number of slots be limited or would it be open to everybody willing ?

 

For the endurance 2005 pack pt 2...
P.S, the last car is fictional XD

 

Definitely agree. The game's really close to being able to do a believable full schedule for basically any F1 era and Zandvoort with the original and current layout is one those that would kill multiple birds with one stone.

Also Paul Ricard and Hungaroring with one or two historic layouts / skins would fill a big void. Two historic layouts for Monaco would be awesome as well. One with the sidewalks still lining the track and the 80's - 90's layout. If we're getting 70's sports cars as well just doing more historic skins for the existing track list in general would be a nice touch.

Have to say even though I haven't posted here previously, apparently I don't have to because the devs read my mind regardless Improving the AI and being able to edit car performance to create better AI files, skin packs and offline championships is just what the game needs to improve the single player experience.
