Automobilista 2 September 2025 Development Update

Are you from the future? Holiday is on Friday, it's Wednesday

 

That makes more sense, my apologies.

 

I crave BoP in the g3 class, it has wide selection of vehicles that aint competitive (in my hands at least)

 

I loved the Oreca livery for the Viper though it was a bit older

 

I hope something was done about AI's behaviour on ovals, where even lapped cars try to destroy player's race by ramming him off track, never stepping back or trying to avoid a collision.

 

DBR9...

 

As a newer AMS2 user I have been overly joyed with the apparent passion and knowledge the team at Reiza has displayed into what I consider the purest racing sim on the planet. From physics and tire models to FFB and sheer car choice I have been in love. Most devs seem to make the simple mistake of quantity over quality whereas Reiza seems to be comprised of ACTUAL well studied racers focused on quality over profit alone. The 80s, 90s and 2000s GT racing are the golden era for pushing performance boundaries. They can be easily brushed aside by the uniformed in favor of the latest and not greatest. The fact that Reiza is putting their talent and resources behind the content that true enthusiasts are looking for means that they have a supporter for life. I am more than happy to pay a small fee to further development mainly because it is development that I would personally be pursuing if I were a dev. We want pure, raw, visceral driving experiences and Reiza is delivering this in spades. So thank you to Reiza Studios and every person devoting their valuable time and passion into providing such a special driving experience. Cheers

 

I've been using DSR for ages, works great!

 

TAA for my VR superb stuff Reiza, new content is also great news

 

I appreciate the changes made to the HUD, but I'd like to point out several things that are seemingly easy to fix:

1) There's a misalignment on the leaderboard and the relative.

2) The images don't show the delta, but the one we have is about 0.60 of a second off. This is especially annoying in Time Trials, because you think you're going to improve your time, and when you cross the finish line, disappointment sets in.
You could review the 0.60 of a second issue with the redesign.

3) The overlapping of the lap times and the potential lap would ideally be the same size as the leaderboard and the relative position.

 

This video has some new screenshots of Spa 2005 and Le Mans 2005 around 1:10. Anybody know where they come from?

 

Perhaps maybe… just wait until it’s seen in the wild , the screenshots maybe be quite old wip versions, and it hasn’t been finalised yet, it’s not due yet , and it will go through further testing yet.

 

I don't think those are screenshots of the 2005 layouts but from others that are already in the game, unless it's from an internal build, which i wouldn't assume

 

They're absolutely the 2005 versions: the Spa pictures don't look like 1991 or 2020/25, same goes for the Le Mans image. Where exactly they got these eludes me though

 

The 24 heurs logo is the old version and there is nothing there at the modern layout in game. The Toyota sponsoring at Spa is also there on F1 coverage of 2005, Toyota where in F1 from 2002 to 2009.

Extracted the pictures from the video to make it easier to look at.

 

Thanks for extracting these, yes it definitely looks this is Spa 2005. It’s not the 93 layout, that’s for sure. The same can be said for the Bridgestone boards, and tarmac sections on the exit of la source, different than Spa 93.

 

The leaked/alleged image of Spa 2005 looks like it has "endurance" start/finish-line instead of the F1 start/finish, or are my eyes deceiving me? Would be nice to have that option.

 

Yes, I am sure it's Spa 2005. You can compare the marked areas:


Le Mans, hard to say, this section kept unchanged over the years.

 

In Spa, the Bus Stop Chicane was slightly renewed compared to the one of former layout for the GP of 04/05. It was slightly longer and the angle at the entry was a bit more acute.
There was no GP in 2006, when the last sector was completely renewed with the new chicane before start-finish like it is today.

You can see the chicane of 2004/2005 here:

 

Or Backs or Beeks or Beaks............. okay i`ll stop now.
