Automobilista 2 Update V1.5.3.4 Released

Having recently released major changes including two new DLC packs featuring the Formula HiTech and historic circuits, we’ve now see Automobilista 2 Update V1.5.3.4 released by Reiza Studios.

It largely fixes some minor niggles for existing content, and ends the free trial period for both the F-HiTech and Historical Track Pack Pt2 additions. So you’ll need to pay to keep driving them in the future. The new content does get some tweaks, including the AI racing lines at Interlagos, the baseline tyre pressures and launch controls for the HiTech Gen 2, and an increase to the speed thresholds to see undertray sparks.
