Automobilista 2 adds two distinctive cars to roster

• The latest Formula Vee Gen2 Brazilian single-seater has been added to Automobilista 2
• For those who own the Endurance Pack Pt3 DLC, there’s also the Ligier JS P4
• Other bug fixes and tweaks are part of a new patch

Automobilista 2 has once again added new content that you’re unlikely to find elsewhere, and dropped it on a weekend while everyone was looking the other way.

First up, the Ligier JS P4 is an entry-level LMP-style sports car, low-slung and aero-dependent. It uses a mid-mounted Ford-derived V6 engine mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox within a carbon fibre monocoque.

It’s mainly used in the two-class Ligier European Series, which supports the ACO’s Le Mans Cup as a rung below LMP3. The other car in the championship is the Ligier JS2-R GT car, which became available for AMS2 at the end of July as part of an Endurance Pack Pt3 paid DLC pack.

The new JS P4 is now also part of the pack, perhaps indicating that it potentially always was, but was running late – or it’s just an added bonus a month later. Either way, those who already own the pack have received the car for no additional charge, and those who newly purchase the set will have it bundled in.

Outside of DLC packs, the latest specification of the Brazilian Formula Vee Gen2 has been added – the diminutive single-seater has, according to game developer Reiza Studios, been created in collaboration with the real-world series.

It is rear-wheel drive, with Volkswagen suspension, engine and gearbox.

Elsewhere, the studio promises enhanced multiplayer stability, with known errors supposedly stamped out, and a recalculation of AI-rivals’ centre of gravity. The full patch notes are below, from Steam.

It follows the release of Nürburgring Nordschleife 2025-spec and the aforementioned Endurance-themed DLC, which included Aston Martin vehicles for the first time.
