REG Simulations, the studio behind fledgling Argentinian racing sim PISTA Motorsport, has unveiled its latest content update, adding the GTS Toyota Camry Gen 3 and the Autódromo Concepción del Uruguay circuit to the title.
GTS Toyota Camry Gen 3
The free update, which is ready to download now, brings the latest version of Toyota’s Turismo Carretera contender to the sim (albeit unlicensed), featuring an ear-splittingly raucous straight-six engine producing close to 500 bhp through its rear wheels.
The 2024 edition of the Turismo Carretera was a new dawn for Argentinian’s premier motorsport category, with the outgoing hot rod style cars being replaced by space frame silhouette models from the likes of Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Torino and Toyota, in an attempt to make them more recognisable to the wider public.
The Toyota comes with a range of liveries including two Gazoo Racing-inspired efforts, with the development of the car undertaken in association with the Virtual Pilots Association of South America (APVS).
Autódromo Concepción del Uruguay
The Autódromo Concepción del Uruguay is a 4.3 Km-long track situated in the Entre Rios Province of Argentina. Opened in 2014, its layout is reminiscent of Australia’s Queensland Raceway, famously known as ‘the paperclip’.
Running anti-clockwise, the track features wide, medium-speed corners and copious amounts of grassy run-off, but with few elevation changes.
PISTA Motorsport v0.6.5.0 update
Alongside new content, Early Access sim PISTA has undergone several changes to its force feedback, graphics and physics, with a whole new FFB system being implemented. Wet track behaviour has been rejigged, with new dynamic puddle shaders added.
Players can now also adjust aerodynamic settings in the car set-up screen, with the UI also receiving some fettling.
Perhaps the biggest new change is the game’s new photo mode, accessed via a replay, allowing players to add depth of field to images as well as adjust contrast, exposure and saturation settings, among others.
