Reiza Studios have dropped a new build update for their Automobilista 2 racing simulation, adding two new and exciting pieces of content to the simulation.
Another impressive collection of updates and improvements have come the way of Automobilista 2 fans recently, with build update 1.0.6 of the simulation having dropped on Steam - and with it has come new content for good measure, in the form of the BMW M6 GT3 and Ginetta G55 GT4 cars - further expanding these popular classes within the title.
To be fair, AMS 2 is currently already rather rich in content, so perhaps the most interesting aspect of this build release is yet further refinements to the AI and physics within the title - two areas where it would be fair to say Reiza Studios need to apply the most polish, so hopefully this new build represents yet another step in the right direction for the popular Brazilian development team.

. I have to say, I actually thought the AI did very well. I even tried to get in their racing line to see if they would do the famous violent punt, and they stayed in their lane. I had a great battle for first on Nürburgring, and 2 great battles for last on Brands Hatch. The AI actually pressured me into making a mistake on the last turn. I never enjoyed flying off the track so much. It also seems like light taps from the AI are no longer sending you flying. So far this update has been fantastic.
