The new version 1.3.5.1 update – catchy name – for Reiza Studio’s PC racing simulator Automobilista 2 is now live, and it includes the new fictional Formula Ultimate Generation 2 and the 2022 Stock Car Pro Series.
Formula 1-2022 aping fictional single-seater
As we reported earlier this week, 4th April, the Formula Ultimate Generation 2 is a new fictional single-seater that implements a turbocharged hybrid V6 powertrain. Do the technical specs and design remind you of something?
This also means a revised Energy Recovery System (ERS) has been implemented for the platform that uses a modified MADNESS ENGINE. How much energy is recouped and deployed has now been refined to match the new open-wheeler, with five selectable modes: Off, Build, Balanced, Attack and the full-beans Qual.
New Brazilian track and 2022 liveries
Also as previewed a few days ago, the 2022 Stock Car Pro Series is now within Automobilista 2. That means all the current-season liveries, with the matching driver names and teams for the championship where Rubens Barrichello won the second round.
In addition to the latest designs, a new track has been added for free. The Galeão Airport Temporary Race Track. The airport has been transformed into a motorsport venue for the Stock Car Pro Series, and now AMS2 owners can experience it too.
The tyres and default setups for these vehicles have also been updated to suit this season.
As with every Automobilista 2 update, a suite of smaller changes has been implemented, which you can read below.
