Automobilista 2 v1.4.1.3 Now Available

I’m catching up on news (haven’t been able to post any this month) and haven’t posted the 1.4 news yet (I’ll back date it when I do), but Reiza have updated it a couple of times since release and I thought I would post those now as ‘new’ news. You can find both the v1.4.1.2 and v1.4.1.3 changelogs below.
