Automobilista 2: Historical Track Pack Pt1

The Historical Track Pack Pt1 DLC for Automobilista 2 was developed and published by Reiza Studios and released on December 30, 2022. It arrived as a focused expansion that enhances the simulator’s historical content by recreating classic circuit layouts from distinct eras, aimed at players who enjoy period-accurate racing environments and the unique challenges they present.

The pack adds three historically significant tracks: Cascais 1988, Jerez 1988, and Bathurst 1983, each modelled to reflect the layouts, limited run-offs, and trackside features of their respective periods. Cascais and Jerez are presented with the tighter runoff and faster corner profiles of the late 1980s, while Bathurst 1983 emphasizes the older, bumpier Mount Panorama experience with its more dangerous margins and period-specific surface characteristics.

Promotion for the Historical Track Pack Pt1 was handled through Reiza’s standard channels, including store announcements, developer update posts, preview screenshots, and community communications tied to the studio’s content roadmap. The studio highlighted the pack’s focus on authenticity and nostalgia, using imagery and descriptive notes to underline the era-specific driving conditions and the suitability of these layouts for historical single-seater and touring car content.

Reception among the Automobilista 2 community was generally positive, with players praising the care taken to reproduce the feel and spectacle of past-era circuits and the way those tracks complement the sim’s existing historical car roster. Feedback noted appreciation for the added variety and the opportunity to race well-known layouts in period-appropriate conditions, while suggestions for additional tweaks and liveries reflected the community’s appetite for further historical content.
