Reiza Studios enjoyed a successful year in 2025, heaping further development onto its Automobilsta 2 title, with a ton of new content, features and background improvements helping to polish the simulator ever further.
It refused to take its foot off the gas leading right up until Christmas 2025 too, delivering a range of improvements and extra content that further diversified its already varied library.
If you haven’t paid AMS2 a visit for a while, or if you’re looking from the outside and fancy getting a slice of the action, you’re in luck. Coach Dave Academy decided to put together a guide exploring all the latest improvements ready to tackle AMS2 in 2026.
If you’re looking to get started in AMS2 but aren’t sure where to start, then Coach Dave Academy’s Beginners Guide is here to help.
Supercars Pt.2
Firstly, we’ll kick off with the new content brought to the title. A new Supercars pack made its introduction in December 2025, marking the first one since the Supercars Pt.1 DLC, which was released way back towards the end of 2022. Made up of four road-going supercars, they represent a rather different side to AMS2, which is largely made up of vehicles designed purely to race.
The Supercars are heavier and provide a different challenge, allowing you to further enhance your versatility behind the wheel. The pack costs $7.99. The quartet of new supercars are:
- Aston Martin Valkyrie
- Audi R8 V10 GT
- Dodge Viper ACR
- Maserati GT2 Stradale
Alongside the new cars, Reiza also overhauled the other road-going content already included in AMS2 to bring it up to current levels. This not only covers graphical improvements, but also advancements in the title’s physics calculations.
Racin’ USA NASCAR Stock Car Racing Bonus Pack
Sticking with vehicle add-ons, Reiza also afforded AMS2 users with a bunch of NASCAR-inspired stock cars to enjoy. A total of four different vehicles and an extra oval track were added as part of the pack, which is included with the already released Racin’ USA expansion. This means everyone who already owns it will get the bonus content.
The three fictional cars represent three different eras of NASCAR, ranging from the 1980s all the way up to today.
- Stock USA Gen 1 (Based on 1980s NASCAR rules)
- Stock USA Gen 2 (Based on 1990s NASCAR rules)
- Stock USA Gen 3 (Based on current NASCAR Next Gen rules)
Alongside these three cars, Reiza also offered players a Le Mans version of the Stock USA Gen 3. This is a fictional version of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 NASCAR that Chevrolet campaigned at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans as an invitational Garage 56 entry. It wowed onlookers with its breathless V8 soundtrack, and you can now pound around AMS2’s contemporary Le Mans circuit in a car heavily inspired by the real thing.
To accompany the selection of stock cars, Pocono International Raceway was also thrown in. The venue is one of the most unique on the NASCAR calendar, due to its unusual triangular layout that sees three vastly different corners make up the course. It gets the name ‘the tricky triangle’ due to how tough it is to nail all three bends perfectly.
Touristenfahrten Layout Added to Nürburgring 2025 DLC
Alongside Pocono, Reiza added another layout to the recently released Nurburgring 2025 DLC free of charge. While it featured the standard Nordschleife and 24h layouts, the Tourist version used by visitors in real life was missing. This has now been rectified, meaning you can now race from the starting barriers at the bridge to the finishing ones at the gantry.
This will give you a more realistic experience of taking a road car onto the ‘Ring.

Formula Class Revisions
Alongside the new content, Reiza also made some alterations to the class structure of some of the formula machines already included. This was done to make it clearer which kind of grand prix era each class represented, with some of the old names being a little generic in terms of meaning.
The changes are as follows:
| Old Name | New Name |
| F Reiza | F.V8 Gen.3 |
| Formula Ultimate Gen.1 | F-Hybrid Gen.2 |
| Formula Ultimate Gen.2 | F-Hybrid Gen.3 |
Tyre Physics Improvements
Now we move on to the features, and we start with some further improvements to AMS2’s tyre model. Reiza has continued working on refining aspects like thermodynamics, tread effect coefficients and the effects the tyres suffer from when they’re outside their optimal temperature window to help make their behaviour more authentic.
Reiza is committed to hunting down further improvement in this area throughout 2026, so stay tuned!
AI Development
Alongside an updated tyre model, the AI have also been paid some more attention in this latest build. Reiza has improved their behaviour in three critical areas:
- First corner/first lap performance to ensure they’re less tentative
- Performance in hard braking zones, such as for slower corners and chicanes, which should make them more aggressive and therefore faster
- New logic that could lead to AI deciding to brake harder in different situations to avoid incidents

Other Revisions
A few other minor additions were also included in AMS2’s Winter 2025 update. One handy inclusion is that of a free camera feature, which allows users to explore the entirety of the track, as opposed to being closely tied to wherever their vehicle is once they enter the camera mode. This will make grabbing thumbnails or different shots easier.
Reiza has also worked on the audio effects on steel chassis cars, with the sounds of the chassis and suspension receiving improved effects and logic to help enhance immersion.
Other smaller details include improved performance from the in-game Temporal Antialiasing setting, which can now be combined with TAA and Super Sampling AA to help improve visuals. The number of custom championship templates and single championship save slots has also been doubled, meaning you can have a wider range of different series going on at once.
Lastly, yellow flag logic has been improved in sessions where no Full Course Yellow rules are in force. For sessions when FCY is in action, the activation triggers have been revised to make them show up at the correct times more often than previously.
Reiza has promised it has “exciting plans to make 2026 its best year yet”, so it’ll be interesting to see what they’ve got cooking in the kitchen. If it’s anything like 2025, AMS2 will likely be reaching for new corners of sim racing content that have yet to be conquered.
