Hello Pilot!
Strap in as this is a big one!
As always, we have been taking your feedback on-board and making numerous tweaks and changes to PACER and you may even spot some secret festive details below - but more on that next week! We've been enjoying watching streamers get their teeth into PACER and we've taken some time to add in a 'Streamer Mode' to ensure that the few tracks which aren't licensed for streaming don't get in the way of the fun!
As always, keep your feedback coming and see you all out on the track!
