Successor to the studios??? Game Stock Car Extreme title, Automobilista continues Reiza???s efforts of pairing up cars and tracks from Brazil???s most popular racing series such as??Stock Car V8, Copa Petrobras de Marcas and the Mitsubishi Lancer Cup with more international racing content, the addition of which has already started with the recent GSC E updates.
