Automobilista 2 v1.3.5.1 Adds 2022-Spec GP Car, 2022 Brasil Stock Cars

Reiza’s latest update for AMS2 is now live and it brings us a 2022-spec Grand Prix car, 2022 Brasil Stock Cars, Galeão Airport and various tweaks and fixes. One of the most welcome tweaks is that the AI are now a little more varied, so races should be more ‘racey’.

I previewed everything upcoming from Reiza in the recent Dev Update coverage.
