Last updated on January 5th, 2021 at 07:54 pm

It’s hard work keeping up with sim racing developers some times. Since the last major update was released at the end of November 2020, Reiza Studios have already shared two further improvements, with Automobilista 2 Hotfix V1.0.6.2 now available.

While both hotfixes have added a number of fixes and improvements, particularly for the new GT3 and GT4 cars, the latest hotfix also adds the Nurburgring Sprint Short layout.

We’ll start by catching up with the V1.0.6.1 update which sneaked out earlier in December.
