Hi! This is the first update after 1.0, with added features and bug fixes from your reports. Thanks for all the feedback and fantastic reviews that you are sharing. I wanted to let you know that I'm focusing on improving the AI, as I tweaked it to avoid going off track on some tricky corners, it ended up being slow for really fast players. I've made some progress but it still needs a lot of tes…
Improved the dynamic racing line and tweaked AI speeds while cornering, which makes racing more challenging at higher difficulties Fixed: when duplicating tracks in the track builder, some objects and custom colors were not being copied
This new update has two bug fixes and some AI improvements. Fixes - during night races, the rewind screen was showing as daylight - new real time position method (the old one was a little bit wonky, specially when crossing the start/finish line) There are several small tweaks to the AI. When I tried to make it faster, it was spinning a lot in T1 at Monza (who doesn't?), the corkscrew at Laguna…
There is now a minigame on race starts, were you get a boost/penalty if you keep your revs in the right range. I'd love if you could tell me what you think about it. There is also a way in the options menu to turn it off/on. This version also includes an improved race line for the AI, it is generated dynamically, so it also works for workshop items ; ) This update includes a series of small fix…

The June update has grown well beyond its original scope. Alongside the addition of Custom Championships—including support for user-created content—Version 0.7 introduces major improvements to AI behavior and race grids. The biggest change is a substantial overhaul of the AI. Computer-controlled drivers now have a much better awareness of their surroundings—not just other cars, but also track l…

Camera zoom out for split-screen multiplayer races is configurable in options and pause menu · Watkins Glen: removed possible shortcut · Watkins Glen: graphical pass · Kerbs: improved placement and shape (still not perfect, but better) · Kerbs: outer kerbs added to corner exits · Changed some menu texts
The first planned big update is live and ahead of schedule! With this new version, you can now rewind time during single-player races. To keep things square, this feature is blocked during multi-player and leaderboard runs. For the time being, you have unlimited rewinds available, but I’m deciding if there will be some specific number of flashbacks per race. If you want to share your view, join…

If you felt that you needed a tougher challenge while racing, we’ve got great news for you. With this new update, the range of the AI can go up to 120%. At this higher setting, you will see them taking curves more aggressively, attacking the kerbs and using inertia better in tighter turns. Their top speed remains unchanged, so the fight is fair, but you will need to maintain your focus on every…
