Automobilista 2 June 2026 Development Update - Pt 1

We really had some great news, but I confess I'm also looking forward to part two. In fact, I'd really like to read that we'll have a qualifying system with Q1, Q2, and Q3. And I also hope for an improvement in the physics of the Brazilian Stock Cars, like we did with the GT3s.

I hope I'm wrong about this prediction, but I bet part two will come out on Thursday, and the update itself on Saturday, especially since he mentioned a small unforeseen issue with a license, so I believe he'll wait until the last minute to release the update. All we can do is hope it gets resolved quickly, otherwise this content will surely be left for the next update.

 

Excellent work Reiza! You guys!
Keep doing this awesome work with this sim i love so much!

 

Looking forward to this update! I haven't sat in my sim rig in some weeks and this will definitely bring me back.

 

I was already worried that the next update wouldn't arrive until the Steam Summer Sale at the end of June. Now I'm even happier that the fun can start as early as this week!

The content sounds very promising, and I can't wait. I'm most excited about the Custom BOP.

Thanks, Reiza!

 

x2 dev updates, x2 Reiza updates (hopefully), x2 24-hour races, x2 F1 GPs, and the World Cup. what a packed month.

 

There will be a spike in late night racing before those 2am kickoffs!

 

I can’t wait to drive the 2008 McLaren Guys

 

Awesome update and so much content and features to get excited about. Huge Renault fan since about 1979 so great to see them added to the sim. Huge Alonso fan as well and adore the R25 and R26 although I'm not a big Formula fan, so I'm hoping we get some Clio Cup cars so we can run some spec series races.

 

This is truly a golden age of racing games. The simulations are all getting well supported then there is a healthy amount of arcade games coming soon.

 

Looks like great content coming in a few days and over the next few months.

I would love to see a track pack for the 2000s to flesh out the seasons for these cars. Even just an Asia pack with some combination of Singapore, Fuji, Sepang, Bahrain, and Shanghai would be awesome.

 

Honestly, I was hoping for massive AI improvements as single priority. Now pit strategies is the topic of the day - so be it.

Date of release of F-USA Pack is already quite some time ago, but still oval racing against the AI is no fun due to numerous problems (me and others already mentioned some of them, AI lines combined with speed on ovals being the most precious one for me).

Friendly reminder to this post related to my words above: AMS2 AI Developer Q&A - Physics & AI

Apart from that: thanks for the update.

 

Does anyone know exactly when the update drops? I've been waiting for it for a while now.

 

It drops when it drops and I am not joking.

 

I recommend you stop waiting and go do something else until it releases.

 

Did anyone notice we're getting a brand new McLaren for Formula v10 Gen 2? With the announcement of the 3 Renaults, I think this brand new McLaren has been mostly under the radar right? Was it announced somewhere or was this screenshot the shadow drop?

Or maybe I'm wrong??

 

Pretty sure the McLaren is the licensing thing Renato mentioned that they have to solve. It's already confirmed in the Overtake article just like Hungaroring

 

I would like to see commentators at the trackside using their national languages, for example in Monza. I believe that would be very emotional and perfectly capture the atmosphere. I hope for Future.

I have one more thing to say: since we now have Freecam, I'm going to start the game in VR. I'll choose my seat from Monza in 2003. I'll get out the popcorn and turn up my 5.1 system.

And big Thx for YOU """ REIZA TEAM""""

 

@Renato Simioni I think it's really good that you are so transparent about this. Even if I'm a Beta tester, I would have still payed for everything gladly and I still would. Because all this hard work in all these years shouldn't be for nothing. I hope that everything may be able to settle in the future with these difficult licensing issues and that some Manufacturers are open to have other Manufacturers in a simulation.
I know you and your team will come back from this setback stronger and this community fully believes in what you are doing. That's why it's great that you are transparent. Other Devs for other games or even Sims would have not talked about it. Some things are not meant to be but from every setback, you learn and you get stronger.
