Automobilista 2 upgrades to V1.2.3.0, adds two Corvette C3s

The latest update from Reiza Studios is a 521.01 MB patch that introduces a new car with two different versions to their Automobilista 2 title. The new car is the Corvette C3, and there is a Vintage Touring Car Class vehicle as well as an “R” Spec to GT Classics Class vehicle to race with.

The Corvette C3 was produced from 1967 to 1982. The vintage one included in this update will be from 1973 and will carry the Stingray badge on the side of the door. Honestly, its one of my favorite cars ever and I am going to go and drive it as soon as I’m done writing this update log.

Other improvements in this version include an added “Damage Scale” option, temperatures for RealWeather, a bunch of track fixes, and other updates in general, including UI & HUD fixes, physics tweaks, AI improvement and a couple of vehicle updates.

Check out the full log of changes below and let me know if you’re just as excited about these added Corvettes as I am in the comments below.
