Another Automobilista 2 announcement is about the classic 24-hour franchise. Later in 2023, Le Mans is set to allow sim racers to compete in endurance races at the Circuit des 24 Heures, also known as Circuit de la Sarthe. In addition to the current track done with laser scanning, historical versions of the track from 1970 to 1990 are also planned.

In terms of historical cars, AMS2 already has several Group C cars from the late 1980s and GT1 cars from the late 1990s. The schedule will be supplemented by several prototypes and GT vehicles from the early 1970s to the mid 1980s.

Future game additions and the AMS2 Paddock Club

As the AMS2 community has asked how they can continue to support their racing simulator and the people behind it, Reiza Studios has created the AMS2 Paddock Club, an extension of previous support campaigns and an opportunity to participate in the development of AMS2. The AMS2 Paddock Club can be entered for between $99.99 and $199.99 depending on whether or not you already own a racing slide. More information is available via the link in the official forum.
