Les développeurs de Automobilista 2, Reiza, ont finalement sorti la mise à jour tant attendue, la 1.4.6.1, après avoir expliqué les raisons de son retard dans une récente newsletter.
La principale raison de ce retard était le contenu prévu pour être inclus dans la mise à jour. Cependant, cette dernière apporte de nombreux ajouts et améliorations, y compris une nouvelle voiture et une nouvelle piste, ainsi que de nombreuses améliorations du jeu.
Bathurst est l’une des pistes les plus célèbres et les plus appréciées des fans de course et Reiza a utilisé la « machine à remonter le temps » d’AMS 2 pour la recréer telle qu’elle était en 1983, avec moins de barrières, des arbres plus proches et sans l’épingle de « The Chase » qui divise la ligne droite de Conrod. Cette nouvelle piste est incluse dans le DLC « Historic Track » aux côtés des variantes de Cascais et Jerez de 1988.
En plus de cette piste historique, la seconde partie du contenu inclus dans cette mise à jour est disponible gratuitement pour tous les joueurs disposant du jeu de base. La Formula Inter est une monoplace légère d’entrée de gamme principalement utilisée au Brésil.
En plus de ces ajouts, la mise à jour apporte de nombreuses corrections de bugs et améliorations mineures, telles que des modifications du comportement de l’IA pour la stratégie de course et des ajustements de contrôle de traction pour plusieurs voitures. Parmi les changements les plus intéressants, on trouve la possibilité de modifier la limite de vitesse dans les stands pour les championnats personnalisés, ainsi que des lumières de cockpit pour certaines voitures d’endurance pour une immersion accrue dans les courses nocturnes.
Une version historique du Nürburgring est également en préparation, mais la reconstruction de la Sudschleife ainsi que de la Nordschleife dans leur version de 1971 prend plus de temps que prévu. Bien que cela aurait dû être inclus dans la nouvelle mise à jour, la newsletter publiée il y a quelques jours indique que sa sortie est maintenant prévue pour la fin du mois de mars.
