v0.3.1 — Quick Race Mode + Hotfixes
A small but important update during Next Fest.
New: Quick Race
Want to see the race engine in action without the management layer? Quick Race drops you straight into a live 2D race on a procedurally generated circuit.
Pick your team, choose your tyres, and hit the grid. Physics-driven dirty air, drafting, tyre temperature, and mechanical failures — all in a single session.
Perfect if you want a taste of what makes The Undercut's race engine tick before diving into Career mode.
Fixes
- Fixed a crash when entering the team presentation at the start of season 2+
- Fixed black squares appearing for arrows, checkmarks, and sponsor logos on some GPUs
- Fixed a black asset flash at the end of race loading
- Fixed Free Practice HUD being mislabelled as "Qualifying"
- Fixed the Run Plan back button not working correctly
Thanks to everyone reporting bugs during Next Fest — keep them coming.
