    The new Automobilista 2 update adds plenty of free new cars, several developments to championship mode, a completely revised track limit penalty system, many AI adjustments along with the usual batch of improvements & fixes in other game fronts.

    The track limit penalty system & regulations have now been completely revised to adhere more closely to real racing regulations and for better consistency. A more detailed explanation on the rules for track limits as of v1.0.2.0 will follow shortly.

    This update also brings the home of British Motorsports to AMS2 - the Silverstone Pack features several historical iterations of the track through the decades along with its current layout - unique fast flowing challenges perfectly suited to the cars that raced on them!
    002.jpg
    This pack features 4 distinct versions of this legendary track from 4 different decades - 1975, 1991, 2001 and 2020; additional layouts for the main track in each era will be gradually added in future updates.

    • Adjusted DRS activation speeds for AI for Sigma P1 & AJR cars equipped with the device
    • Minor AI Grip tuning for Cascais, Hockenheim
    • Improved pitlane merge to main path at Hockenheim GP / National

    Really appreciate the update and all the hard work.

    Just out of curiosity though were custom championships supposed to be a thing for this update, or did I imagine that?

    I'm in this for the historic content so thanks for the new Brabham and Lotus.

    AI updates are crucial for me as a primarily offline player, so looking forward to checking these out and hope to see more in this vein - likewise happy to see the first version of a championship added.

    Still drying its paintjob and receiving final tweaks to its pedal set - will be the star of its own update, hopefully before the weekend :)

    Nope, that´s still a couple of months away. There will be some more default championship options added shortly tho now that the basic functionalities are mostly in place.

    Hello and thank you for the update!
    One question: you mention changes to street tires in the Camaro SS thread here. Have they made it to this update?

    @Renato Simioni Just tested the AI in a multi class race (P1/P2/P3/P4) in Interlagos and I have to say, I'm impressed. No accident at Start of the race (standing start) and no accident or contact at T1. In fact, there was no accident or contact at all during the 10 lap race. You guys did awesome work with the AI. I love it. I also love that you added the Pit Strategy to the setup menu. Extremely helpful. Didn't test Silverstone or the new open wheelers you added but so far I'm really impressed. Thank you for your hard work.
