The Automobilista 2 V1.0.2.0 Update brings two Classic Grand Prix cars: the Lotus 49C and the Brabham BT26A are two all-time beauties and they will be free for all AMS2 owners! The cars are coming with an update full of improvements, as well as with the release of the new Silverstone Pack DLC - all of it coming up later tonight!

The new Automobilista 2 update adds plenty of free new cars, several developments to championship mode, a completely revised track limit penalty system, many AI adjustments along with the usual batch of improvements & fixes in other game fronts.
The track limit penalty system & regulations have now been completely revised to adhere more closely to real racing regulations and for better consistency. A more detailed explanation on the rules for track limits as of v1.0.2.0 will follow shortly.
This update also brings the home of British Motorsports to AMS2 - the Silverstone Pack features several historical iterations of the track through the decades along with its current layout - unique fast flowing challenges perfectly suited to the cars that raced on them!
This pack features 4 distinct versions of this legendary track from 4 different decades - 1975, 1991, 2001 and 2020; additional layouts for the main track in each era will be gradually added in future updates.

Ho acquistato Automobilista2, percorrendo qualche tracciato già conosciuto in altri programmi (Rfactor2 ed Assetto corsa) ho l'impressione che il tracciato delle piste su Automobilista2 sia molto più largo e quindi apparentemente i rettilinei  più corti anche se i tempi di percorrenza sono simili. Qualcun'altro ha avuto la stessa impressione? Può dipendere dalla risoluzione del 49 Wide? a fatica riesco a visualizzare correttamente la vista dal posto di guida, su alcune vetture mi viene tagliata la parte bassa del cruscotto, ma non riesco a ridimensionare.

Forse hai un fov "scorretto", il che può sicuramente distorcere le proporzioni
