Automobilista 2 to release 2005 endurance racing DLC

• Automobilsita 2’s retro racing roster to expand
• Track variants and cars from 2005 endurance racing to be released as DLC later in October
• AI, HUD and multiplayer changes also expected

The roster of classic content for Automobilista 2 is set to expand once more when two 2005-themed DLC packs are released later this month.

A development blog post on developer Reiza Studios’ forum has unveiled several new-to-the-game cars, and hinted cryptically at some era-specific track versions.

While not explicitly confirmed, we expect this to be one paid pack for the tracks and another for the cars. Studio Head and Project Manager Renato Simioni states that “three DLC packages which will extend the AMS2 world into one of the most memorable eras for Endurance Motorsports”

With one of them being the previously announced Lamborghini Dream Pack Part 2, it indicates two for the 2005-season content.

2005-era track versions

Of the venues, there isn’t an official list just yet, but the wording of the announcement talks of the Sebring 12-hour, Petit Le Mans (Road Atlanta), the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Spa. All four venues are available for the title presently, so affirming 2005-spec versions as future additions.

“You will be able to experience these events in AMS2 with the tracks exactly as they were 20 years ago, featuring most of their participants,” says Simioni.

2005-era cars

From the smattering of screenshots published so far, we can see:

GT cars

• BMW M3 GTR
• Porsche 911 996
• Dodge Viper GTS-R
• Aston Martin DBR9
• Maserati MC12
• Chevrolet Corvette C5-R

LMP cars

• Audi R8 (LMP)
• Courage C60 (2004/05-spec)
• Lola B05/40

All cars above have images shared by Reiza across its forum, Instagram and for the Viper, the Steam page.

OverTake is also reporting that a Dallara SP1 is to be included in the, also known as the Chrysler LMP.

Pricing or a release date are not yet known, although according to the developers, the 2005 content is expected “later on in October.” It will arrive alongside temporal anti-aliasing and an overhauled HUD.

Ahead of that, a Version 1.6.8 update will arrive with revised multiplayer, wheel force feedback and AI performance alongside the aforementioned Lamborghini DLC.
