AUTOMOBILISTA Motorsports Simulator is coming to Steam on Q1 2016

[Renato Simioni]

Successor of Stock Car Extreme, new racing simulator by Reiza Studios will be free to all current owners of SCE

AUTOMOBILISTA puts you in the driving seat of an advanced racing simulator to deliver a uniquely diverse motorsports experience!

As the natural successor to Reiza Studios´ previous title - the highly regarded Stock Car Extreme, originally released in 2013 - AUTOMOBILISTA continues to simulate premium Brazilian racing series such as Stock Car V8, Copa Petrobras de Marcas, Formula 3 Brasil and Mitsubishi Lancer Cup, now packing every car and every track from their respective 2015 championships.

Beyond the brazilian core, AUTOMOBILISTA is extensively complemented with one of the most diverse selections or racing vehicles to be found in a racing game: only in AUTOMOBILISTA will you be able to jump from a rental kart to a 800-HP F1 car; from drifting a Rallycross Evo X to jumping ramps in a Supertruck; from mastering the driving basics in a Formula Vee to managing a full 24h race in an endurance prototype; back and forth through time with historical and modern content including a sample from several decades of Grand Prix racing - all of this and much more within a few mouse clicks. Thoroughly researched and cohesively developed for maximum simulation accuracy, AUTOMOBILISTA captures the fun only motorsports in its various forms can provide.

In addition to the content already present in Stock Car Extreme - all of which comprehensively upgraded - AUTOMOBILISTA turns it up to a new level by adding all the new cars & tracks proposed in the SimRacing Bonanza crowdfunding campaign, new simulation features such as dynamic track conditions, advanced transmission and tire modelling, substantial upgrades to physics, graphics & audio, new game modes and much more!

SPECIAL OFFER - AUTOMOBILISTA free to everyone who owns Stock Car Extreme on Steam by January 5th!

AUTOMOBILISTA is an evolution of the project presented by Reiza´s successful crowdfunding campaign in July 2015. Originally proposed as an extensive free update to Stock Car Extreme, AMS has grown further to become a completely independent release from SCE - it will however remain free to everyone who bought Stock Car Extreme up until January 5th 2016.

Therefore if you already own SCE on Steam, AUTOMOBILISTA will become immediately available to you upon release!

SCE owners who have not yet activated their copy of Stock Car Extreme on Steam should do so before January 5th 2016 by retrieving their Stock Car Extreme Steam key here, and activating it on Steam. It is not necessary to install SCE on Steam - just have it activated there to ensure your free copy of AMS. This will have no effect on your SCE installation outside Steam, where serial numbers will remain functional (owners who had previously made the switch also have had their NonSteam Serial Numbers reactivated).

Upon launch, AUTOMOBILISTA will sell for US$ 39.99 so for those who don´t yet own Stock Car Extreme, this is a special opportunity to get both SCE now and simultaneously ensure a free copy of AUTOMOBILISTA - all for the current price of Stock Car Extreme (currently selling for the special Steam holiday price of US$ 22.49 / R$ 89.99). This special offer is available only until 5th January 2016, as from January 6th 2016 onwards buying Stock Car Extreme will no longer warrant a free copy of AUTOMOBILISTA.

AUTOMOBILISTA - Motorsports Simulator will be released exclusively on the Steam platform during Q1 2016.

Hi there. I got into sim racing really recently (couple weeks ago, after i was able to purchase a wheel from a second hand store), and a friend of mine told me to get stock car extreme. I love the game so far and i have been having tons of fun. The issue is that i purchased the game on january 15th 2016, and just yesterday i found out about the automobilista update. I am wondering if exceptions can be made. I am really bummed out that i missed the deadline without even knowing about it.

You might be out of luck there. After January 5th, the price got adjusted from $30 down to $20 because it is now a legacy product. So you are asking to get AMS at an even less cost than when it was technically offered.

Beyond that, there is a post on the Steam store page for the game that explicitly states that buying the game after January 5th will now no longer warrant an AMS key. Might not have been the most visible if you didnt scroll down the page, but it was there. =/

If they made an exception for you this late in January, they would basically be opening the floodgates and have to make an exception for everyone else that asks.

Maybe they'll make an exception though and it never hurts to ask. So good luck! SCE is plenty fun on its own though and there are a plethora of good mods for it. I would just recommend not expecting that they will say yes and get your hopes up.

Cheers

Dumb question I'm sure as I didn't have the question while Inwas originally reading thru this thread...

Will we still have a separate install of GSC after we install AMS or will we be upgrading to AMS and therefore no longer be able to run our mods if we upgrade?

IIRC we will get AMS steam key so we will have both then right?

 

[jlnprssnr]

Separate install.

Hello, I've got two concerns @Renato Simioni @reiza Dev Team in terms of the racing locations.
Will we see in Automobilista the updated track layouts like Ribeirao Preto in 2015 or the new chicane at Taruma?
And what about maybe some updated track textures and curbs for Santa Cruz do Sul or Cascavel?

Would be great to know something about it.
Thanks best regards Jan

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

All tracks have received upgrades, Taruma has had the chicaned layout added. We are not doing Ribeirao, it would take too long and offer minimal value.

Thanks for this informations. But tbh I'm a bit sad about the fact that there isn't another Ribeirao Preto layout. The actually one existing since '13 and the game contains the layout till '12.

And exactly between this one year ('12 - '13) we've seen the last big layout changes, as you can see:

http://www.racingcircuits.info/south-america/brazil/ribeirao-preto.html#.Vqi_2YQxmUk

For sure I can understand your point of view but I think this should be in for a complete '15 Brasil Stock Car season. You know, it felt always fake to drive with a new season on an old track.

But okay, we have to accept it and this was just my personal opinion.
Anyway lookin' really forward to the update.

 

[Renato Simioni]

Actually we´re not doing a Ribeirão update because it was not part of the 2015 season (beyond the fact that as Alex points out, it´s not much added value as a track itself).

This is the 2015 Stock Car calendar, all featuring in AMS with their actual layouts:

22/03 - Goiânia (GO)
05/04 - Ribeirão Preto (SP)
26/04 - Velopark (RS)
31/05 - Curitiba (PR)
28/06 - Santa Cruz do Sul (RS)
02/08 - Curitiba (PR)
16/08 - Goiânia (GO)
30/08 - Cascavel (PR)
13/09 - Campo Grande (MS)
18/10 - Curitiba (PR)
08/11 - Tarumã (RS)
13/12 - Interlagos (SP)

@Renato Simioni thanks for that much answers and attention.
But now I'm a bit confused, you said that Ribeirao wasn't part of '15 season?!
And further you mentioned that all following tracks with their actual layouts (contained Ribeirao) will featured in AMS. Isn't that conflicting.

A last sentence about that track.
If I understand it correct:
In the game 2015 season there will be a Ribeirao track but with the 2012 layout as known from Stock Car Extreme, true?

 

[Renato Simioni]

Exactly - we´ll include the 2012 track because we have it, but it won´t be the layout from 2013/2014 races as that was not part of the 2015 season. The track has received other types of updates though, including for dynamic track conditions.

 

[P*Funk]

Why would anyone want to ruin Taruma with a chicane? That's a monstrous development in motorsports.

 

[Renato Simioni]

I felt the same, but the chicane is actually kind of fun and the old corner is still there, so no harm done IMO

 

[Slalom823]

So for some updated layouts like Taruma does that mean there will be multiple layouts. One using the chicane and one without?

 

[Diego Balzarini]

could we please have the feature of waving to the crowd at the end of the race?
If it's a simulation it should have it

 

[Robert Bachmayer]

Looking forward to this!!

Can I ask if there will be triple screen support similar to AC's where by we could have greater control of side monitor angles, distances etc? I find the driver seat movement a little limiting in
GSCE as it is at present.
Thank-you.

You've got arms right?

I must apologise and remind myself not to post late at night...

Ribeirão was in 2015 calendar. It was Salvador which was replaced in 2015. Ribeirao was taken off the 2016 calendar, which is why we´re not updating it.

hello Renato..

is there a delay in the new beta? Is all going to plan so far>

 

[Dann Murillo]

Renato-

Could you also answer if AMS will be able to play in fullscreen borderless mode by chance?
I ask because it sounds like its being incorporated more and more into Steam and the command "-windowed -noborder" works on many other games.

Cheers! I am dying to play AMS!!!

 

[xnorb]

Always wondered if anybody except streamers really need borderless window mode

 

[Will Mazeo]

I like borderless mode because gmotor stuff has a chance of crashing when you alt tab, and I do this a lot till the race begins, especially checking the forums to see if someone is having proglems to connect. Maybe does not happen on all PCs, idk.
So it's usefull if you want to run full screen res and alt tab without fears.
Right now I run windowed 1360x720 resolution (18" monitor) so I'm fine, but borderless would look better even on this res
