The latest patch for Automobilista 2 launched on Monday (7th March 2022) and with it came the final piece of the Racin’ USA pt2 DLC pack that released in part back in December 2021.
These final pieces include two new cars for the F-USA Gen1 class, namely the Reynard 95i and Lola T95/00. These two cars were the face of the mid-nineties in American open-wheel racing, just around the time of the infamous CART / IndyCar split.
On top of the new content, a ton of fixes have been included in the patch. For those who have the Racin’ USA pt2 DLC and own Road America, there was a laundry list of fixes and changes to that venue. Also, many other tracks were treated to some virtual TLC.
Physics, and select cars received updates, and some other general fixes for the UI, HUD, Audio, and Force Feedback were also included. Check out the full changelog below, directly from Reiza Studios. Let us know your thoughts on the latest developments in the comments below.
