Automobilista 2 Update V1.1.0.0 and Hotfix V1.1.0.1

Reiza Studios pushed out a fairly large release just at the end of 2020, followed by some further tweaks with Automobilista 2 update V1.1.0.0 and Hotfix v1.1.0.1

The biggest news when it comes to cars and tracks was the addition of the GT1 series with the Mercedes CLK LM, Porsche 911 GT1 and McLaren F1 GTR LT, plus Ibarra Reverse and Spa Francorchamps 2020 (if you have Spa as one of the paid DLC options). Plus big updates to the physics for pretty much every car in the game in some way.

And there’s the new livery system override, which allows you to replace paint schemes in the game with your own creations. You can only switch out the defaults, rather than adding more, and means editing a template and then adding it into the Automobilista 2\Vehicles\Textures\CustomLiveries\Overrides\ folder.

• Revised road mesh & reduced noise (high frequency bumps) for Curitiba, Kansai & Taruma
• Updated Bathurst trackside camera
