Automobilista 2 FAQ

What is Automobilista 2?

Automobilista 2 is the culmination of a project developed over the course of nearly a decade. At its core, it is a comprehensive simulation of the brazilian motorsports scene, featuring all major brazilian racing series, race tracks and manufacturers.

Packing an even larger roster of diverse cars and tracks than its predecessor, Automobilista 2 will venture further into the best of international motorsports, including prestigious brands such as Mclaren and BMW along with iconic venues such as Silverstone, Mount Panorama and Imola, at the same time continuing to explore the more exotic and exciting forms of motorsports from around the world.

Boosted by a new technical partnership with the developers of the award-winning Project CARS series, Automobilista 2 is built on the MADNESS engine, providing incredible graphical quality, the most advanced dynamic weather and track condition systems in a racing simulator and superior VR support, to deliver a substantial realism upgrade over its precedecessor and a fully immersive visual experience.

Does AMS2 include car / track X from AMS1? Will it?

Most of the cars and tracks which were part of AMS1 should become part of AMS2 at some point - if it isn´t in the current list of confirmed Content it´s for one of the following reasons: 1- the original model is way too outdated and requires complete remodelling (which may or may not happen in the future), 2- It requires a large amount of rework to be brought up to spec (likewise may or may not happen), 3- It´s a better fit for one of the planned Expansion Packs, 4- In case of a car series, it may no longer exist which may make licensing difficult.

Will AMS2 include car / track X?
