    The wait is finally over! The new Automobilista 2 update has arrived, introducing the Autodromo Nazionale Monza with several layouts and versions through the decades.

    The update also features a wide range of improvements to the AI, several UI developments, improvements to Real Weather system along with various revisions to vehicle art, audio and physics.

    Missing from the update is the BMW 2002, which has remained on shop for further development - it should be added to the game in a complementary update next week.

    Depends.

    Steams new downloader shows the update size and i think total data size on the righthand side of the downloader (look at the two GB/MB numbers next to each other, when it downloads an update).

    Perfectly possible, that it unpacks/updates that much data.
