PHYSICS:
- developed new tire damping method increasing compliance and drivability in all situations and all cars, but race cars in particular
- adjusted tire inertia to better match each car's individual tire dimensions helping with more realistic tire lockups and less drastic loss of traction
- improved tire slip ratio calculation leading to more natural behavior particularly on corner exits in locked differential scenarios
- adjusted grip levels for all tires: Higher baseline grip, yet less combined grip leading to more natural, controllable and rewarding car behavior
- adjusted thermal behavior for tires alongside adjusted rolling resistance
- adjusted tyre rolling resistance to achieve more realistic top speeds
- implemented new drive train wobble method respecting non linear stiffness
- adjusted tire wear across all compounds (generally, the more performance oriented a tire is, the faster tire wear will noticably impact laptime)
- sanitized and unified tire and controller library, solving potential inconsistencies in tire model across cars
- improved consistency in available compound range for early-modern cars:
Removed pseudo-vintage tyres for 90s-00s models, they are now fitted with a range of modern tyres suiting their performance, vintage reserved for crossply tyres
- improved hybrid powertrains
- implemented and unified KERS/ERS behaviour
- improved Dual Clutch Transmission behavior to be more seamless
- implemented electronic brake bias (dubbed as EBB or Brake Migration)
- revision of battery features and data entry specifications
- improved physics model for cars with solid axles
- made several car systems available for in-cockpit adjustment (among others: turbo, dampers, differentials)

Recommended driving.
- implemented soft lock feature for steering wheels
- created multiple physics events to allow for more nuanced car audio
- fixed a potential crash scenario caused by collisions
- various steer ratio adjustments on a number of existing car content
- created more true-to-life vintage compound for the Alfa GTA Sprint
Recommended driving.

- car colliders can now be angled when necessary to represent built-in rake of cars
- reduced clutch sensitivity
- fixed unwanted vibration on torque vectoring differentials
