Automobilista – Build 1.3 and Adelaide Track Released

Reiza Studios has released Build 1.3 and Part 2 of their “Legendary Tracks” DLC series for Automobilista.

Besides the usual fixes and improvements, this build also brings a number of new features to the racing simulator such as updated sound effects, visible and dynamic track dust, and new AI functions. Together with the new build, Reiza Studios also released some new and exciting content.

As part of the new V1.3.0 build, Reiza introduces the Aussie Racing Car Camaro as free content for all. The Aussie Racing Cars or ARC is an Australian Racing series for motorcycle powered silhouette racing cars influenced by the American Legends Cars and the European Midjet Series.

Furthermore, the second part of the “Legendary Tracks” DLC series is now available, containing the famous Australian Adelaide street circuit. The track pack contains two different versions: the longer 1988 historical layout which hosted the Australian GP from 1985 to 1995, and the new modern version along with its Supertruck variant.

The Adelaide track is available on Steam for 5,99€. You may also get Adelaide along with all AMS DLCs released and still to come in one single purchase by acquiring the AMS Season Pass here.

* The mid-race full course yellow is a rule from F-Truck – it triggers a 2-lap safety car period after the leader completes half race distance (provided the total distance is equal or more than 10 laps / 15 minutes).

** The new engine reliability functions will demand extra care during gear shifts, especially for older engines. Upshifting without lifting in cars without powershift and bouncing off the rev limiter will accelerate engine wear and may eventually lead to failures if practiced over a longer race distance; a very aggressive downshift may lead to an instant blow-up.

• If you have an online race tonight, you may stick to or revert to the previous v1.1.1 by selecting that branch from the Steam Beta tab. Further instructions as to how to do that here.
• If you have a bug to report please use the new bug report thread (make sure to check the opening post first).
• If you experience any issues running the game following the update, it´s worth running a Steam Integrity Check to make sure all files have been added/updated correctly.
