Automobilista 2 Update V1.6.7 Released With Two New Cars

If you’re looking for something fresh to race, the weekend saw Automobilista 2 Update V1.6.7 released with two new cars.

Free to everyone from Reiza is the new Formula Vee Gen2 which is the latest model of the car used in the Brazilian championship. Which means you get a VW Fox 1.6 litre engine and five speed gearbox, along with independent rear suspension, rather than the original VW Beetle motor, four-speed and swing axle at the back. Although the cars do still use Beetle front suspension.

The second car is available to those who own the Endurance Pack Pt3. The Ligier JS P4 joins the Ligier European Series alongside the JS2-R as an agile, entry-level prototype car. Originally launched in 2017, it was updated in 2022 with engine power increased to 385hp from the 3.7 litre Ford Duractec V6.

Other changes include several developments to multiplayer as part of the complete overhaul to Stage 2, and AI improvements to make them more realistic. There should also be a slightly increased advantage to drafting, and there are tread changes for road radial tyres.
