Reiza Studios has recently made waves with the long-awaited release of the 1971 version of the Nürburgring for Automobilista 2 – the Brazilian developer continues to be hard at work, however: The final circuit for the Premium Track Pack, three new cars and more improvements on the physics and multiplayer side are coming soon.

With the current cycle of dev updates being released every other month, give or take, the outlook Reiza posts for upcoming updates to AMS2 tends to be substantial, and the most recent one is no exception. Reiza Head Renato Simioni even hinted at another highly-popular circuit to possibly join the growing roster of locations. For now though, here is what to expect from the next AMS2 update.
On the modern end, the Sigma P1 G5 will extend the P1 class based on the Brazilian Endurance championship. The prototype racer is an evolution of the original Sigma P1, which can already be found in AMS2.
To round out the list of new vehicle releases, a car that had been shelveld last summer is finally going to see the light of day – kind of: Instead of a licensed version of the Dallara IR-18 IndyCar that the Motorsport Games standalone game of the series prevented, a somewhat fictionalized version is coming, adding another generation to the Formula USA already in the sim.
The almost-IndyCar comes with aero configurations for road and street circuits as well as short ovals and superspeedways.
This put a damper on the expectations of those who were hoping for Le Mans to be the sixth track of the Premium Track Pack – but they may still have something to look forward to, as Simioni hinted at in another forum post.

Cars
Undoubtedly the strong suit of AMS2, the sim's content is set to receive interesting additions. After having introduced the 2023 Stock Car Pro Series and the 71 Nürburgring recently, a vintage car that should feel right at home at the latter's Südschleife is coming in the Formula Junior – these small 1960s single-seaters are light and low on power, providing close and exciting racing that the many vintage tracks of the sim should be a perfect stage for.On the modern end, the Sigma P1 G5 will extend the P1 class based on the Brazilian Endurance championship.

Tracks
Meanwhile, the sixth track of the Premium Track Pack has been revealed – the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain is coming! Opened in 1991 and host to Formula 1 ever since, the track should serve several open-wheel and prototype classes in AMS2 well. Recently, the circuit has been in the headlines for axing its controversial chicane complex in favor of a faster, more flowing final sector as it was until 2006. The track is scheduled to be released in time for the Spanish Grand Prix, which takes place on June 4th.This put a damper on the expectations of those who were hoping for Le Mans to be the sixth track of the Premium Track Pack – but they may still have something to look forward to, as Simioni hinted at in another forum post.
