Automobilista 2 Update V1.5.5.2 And New DLC Bundles

A fairly small download of around 203MB brings a range of fixes and improvements as Automobilista 2 Update V1.5.5.2 and new DLC bundles arrive for the racing sim.

Previous options to buy the sim racing title with the original Automobilista, or including the Season Pass 2020-2022 have both been removed. Now you’re able to get a 15% discount by either buying the Automboilista 2 All-Inclusive Bundle, or a version for previous owners of the Season Pass.

Meanwhile the free update brings minor slick and wet tyre tread adjustments for a wide range of car classes, and further tweaks to the AI including how they handle lapped traffic, and their levels of aggression.
