This is the first major race campaign update since the early access launch, I hope you enjoy these new tracks and I'm excited to see what times end up on the leaderboards! The Nexo also got an increased max steer angle and increased brake torque in this update, to make the car more responsive.

The drift physics have gotten a massive upgrade today for increased smoothness using assists that can be toggled as well as improved suspension. I’ve also implemented smoother steering rates for the race cars to easier smooth-steer on controllers, making it less snappy. -All drift cars now have the option to switch assist mode using the radial menu, Assisted Handling or Reduced Assist. Reduced…
All tracks now have slightly easier medal times in the race mode. The changes will mainly affect times from Bronze to Gold, while still keeping Diamond the same as before as a fair challenge. This was tweaked using player feedback and analyzing the overall leaderboard times. Keep in mind that even if your current time reflects these new changes to medals, you still need to beat them to earn it.…
A new update just went live that improves in-air control, it now dampens your rotations when you stop using any inputs to rotate the car in the air. Previously the car would continue to spin and you would have to counter it a lot to rotate it back, I believe this makes the tracks easier, so let me know how it feels! I’m also working on tuning the medal times for the race tracks, so expect anoth…
Excited for everyone to give this update a go, please let me know your thoughts!

A massive thank you to everyone testing out the game on day 1, it means a lot! I've read all of your feedback and I'm deploying a small patch to adjust the drift handling of the cars. -This new car handling model allows for smoother drifting in a more arcade-like manner with less snappy transitions and easier transitions not relying to heavily on throttle control. -Added a popup in the first ra…
