Reiza Studios have released the new 1.3 build of their Automobilista title.
A stepson on the way to the final 1.5 release, the new version adds new shaders for dynamic dust on tracks as well as other improvements as listed below.
Furthermore, owners are being treated to a brand new car as the Chevrolet Camaro is a free addition as part of the update.
Along with the free update, Reiza has also released the second “Legendary DLC” pack, introducing the Australian Adelaide street circuit.
Coming with both the classical 1988 Formula One layout and the two layouts for current competition, the track sells for 5,99??? on Steam.
