Automobilista 2 Update V1.2.30 Adds The Corvette C3

Classic Americana arrives as Automobilista 2 update V1.2.30 adds the Corvette C3. In fact, two versions of the classic sportscar with an iconic shape have been brought ot the game, with one for the Vintage Touring Car Class, and an R spec version for GT Classics (competing against the Porsche 911 RSR 3.0 released with the previous update).

Produced from 1967 until 1982, it’s still the shape most associated with the Corvette, and carried the Stingray name from 1969 until 1976. Engines ranged from 5 to 7 litre V8s throughout production, and given that Reiza Studios generally create awesome audio, especially in replays, I’m looking forward to trying them out.

The Vintage Touring Car version of the Corvette C3 offers a 300hp RWD V8 weighing 3,439 lbs, and producing 278 ft-lb of torque. Whereas the GT Classics Corvette C3 R version pushes all of those measures to a substantial 540 hp in a 3,042lb chassis, with 390 ft-lb of torque. In both cases, you’ll be applying that power with a 4-speed H-pattern gearbox.

The two versions of the Corvette C3 are definitely the highlights of Automobilista 2 Update V1.2.30, but there are some other additions, including a Damage Scale, the Real Weather now using real environmental temperature, and some small tyre tread adjustments to a wide range of cars, along with revised clutch intertia values.

Several circuits have all had minor art and optimisation work, along with all versions of the Metalmoro MRX.
