Die Fahrzeuge aus dem Formula HiTech-DLC können kurze Zeit kostenlos gefahren werden Zoom

Einen Überblick darüber verschaffen die Vorschau auf V1.5.3 mit vielen Infos, Videos und Screenshots und das detaillierte Änderungsprotokoll, das aufzeigt, wie umfangreich die Verbesserungen die sich über alle Bereiche erstrecken sind.

Simracer dürfen sich außerdem darüber freuen, dass Reiza Studios die neuen kostenpflichtigen Spielinhalte "Historical Track Pack Pt2 DLC" und "Formula HiTech DLC" an diesem Wochenende allen AMS2-Spielern zur Verfügung stellt, bevor dann am Montag ein ergänzendes Update erfolgt und die Erweiterungen für alle kostenpflichtig angeboten werden. Preislich schlagen die beiden Erweiterungen mit einzeln 7,89 EUR beziehungsweise 6,89 EUR zu Buche.

Auf Grund der mannigfaltigen Überarbeitungen im Bereich Physik wurden alle FahrzeugSet-ups zurückgesetzt. Mit dem komplementären Update am Montag wird die Weiterentwicklung der Physik dann nach offiziellen Angaben bis zum nächsten Meilenstein-Update irgendwann in 2024 eingefroren, sodass wieder an den individuellen Set-ups getüftelt werden kann.
