Automobilista 2’s latest update has arrived, marking the biggest release of the year. This update is packed with 2005 Endurance content, including two new DLCs and a free GT2 car.
With the AMS2 v1.6.8.5 update, the development team has introduced two new DLC packs: the Historical Track Pack Pt3 and the Historical Endurance Pack Pt1. The Historical Track Pack Pt3 features three iconic Endurance tracks from 2005, while the Historical Endurance Pack Pt1 includes eleven cars from the same era, spanning LMP and GT classes. Each DLC is priced at $9.99.
One of the standout features of update v1.6.8.5 is the addition of Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA). This new option smooths jagged edges by blending current and previous frames, improving image quality and, in some cases, providing better performance than traditional MSAA.
The update also brings several quality-of-life improvements. Autosaving and autoloading setups have been enhanced to reduce the chance of incorrect data being restored. Additionally, the glare effect of Endurance headlights at night has been improved for a more immersive experience. New presets have been added for the 2004 and 2005 FIA GT, ALMS, and ELMS seasons.
Physics adjustments continue across several classes, including GT3, GT1, Group C, BMW M1 Procar, and LMDh/GTP. These changes involve revised setups and range updates, meaning that some older setups may require significant tweaks. Other vehicles received minor tire refinements that should not heavily affect their performance.
AI behavior has also seen major improvements. The latest update introduces more refined traction and braking logic, resulting in smoother throttle application and more balanced cornering. AI drivers now behave more naturally in traffic, showing less twitchiness and reduced overcorrection when changing lines. Rubber banding has been toned down, making racing feel fairer and more consistent overall.
Overall, the AMS2 v1.6.8.5 update brings substantial enhancements to both content and gameplay, further solidifying Automobilista 2 as a leading racing simulator.
