Automobilista 2 V0.9.1.0 Adds Cars and Kyalami GP

The modern version of the Kyalami Grand Prix circuit, and the addition of the P2 class Sigma P1 and Copa Classic class Passat cars headline the release of Automobilista 2 V0.9.1.0.

This means the Reiza Studios sequel is now moving towards v1.0 in Steam Early Access, and as a result, the previous 40% discount has now been reduced to 20% off the full price. So Automobilista 2 will now cost you £24.99 until the full official release is out.

The game now includes a total of 40 racing classes, and 40 tracks with more than 70 layouts. Other improvements include a new round of AI calibration, so you may need to reset your difficulty settings, and fixes for some netcode issues to allow closer racing in online multiplayer.
