Automobilista 2 Formula HiTech adds two classes of historical Grand Prix cars to AMS2: Formula HiTech Gen1 and Formula HiTech Gen2.

Formula HiTech Gen1

Gen1 includes four distinct generic models and the officially licensed McLaren MP4/7A. The class represents the first year of an era of technological change, when one team gained an advantage by introducing traction control, launch control and active suspension together. Its car dominated the season, often setting qualifying times two seconds faster than the first conventional car.

Other teams tried to catch up, and a couple introduced traction control as the season progressed, including McLaren with the MP4/7A. The car evolved from the MP4/6, adopted a semi-automatic gearbox after Ferrari and Williams, and paired it with a more powerful Honda V12. These changes were not enough to match the leading cars.

Formula HiTech Gen2

Gen2 includes three distinct generic models and the officially licensed McLaren MP4/8. It represents a season that marked both the peak and the end of the hi-tech era in Grand Prix racing. Most cars had active suspension, traction control and fully automatic gearboxes, with varying levels of sophistication and reliability. Some leading teams also used ABS and an early form of the blown diffuser, which directed hot exhaust gases into the diffuser to increase downforce. All Gen2 models feature these electronic systems.
