Automobilista 2 – Update V1.6.6.7 Deployed

30/08/2025 Reiza Leave a comment

Reiza Studios has deployed Update V1.6.6.7 for the Automobilista 2 racing simulator.

This latest update adds the new Formula Vee generation and the Ligier JS P4 to the racing sim, completing the Ligier Endurance Series. Furthermore, the update implements some new netcode, Multiplayer and AI improvements alongside a number of quality-of-life enhancements.

Reiza updated the way the center of gravity is calculated for AI cars, allowing them to greatly improve their overall stability, particularly for fast cars with substantial rearward weight distribution like the F-Retros, F-Classics, or mid-engine GT and Prototypes.

The new Formula Vee Gen2 represents the latest model of the Brazilian F-Vee and has been developed in close collaboration with the series. While the car still has its VW DNA is still very present with the original VW Beetle front suspension, the old air-cooled Beetle engine, and 4-speed gearbox have given way to a modern VW Fox 1.6L engine with a 5-speed gearbox, with the swing axle rear suspension being ditched in favour of a more modern independent arrangement.

The Ligier JS P4 also joins its Ligier European Series co-star JS2-R as a late arrival to the Endurance Pack Pt3. The agile entry-level prototype is a new addition to the Endurance Pack Pt3, released a few weeks ago, and is free for all who have already purchased the DLC.

Check out the full changelog below.
