This update introduces a new car; supports mid-race joining as spectator; and various fixes for smaller issues and bugs.

Gameplay & Performance

  • Added a new car: Stocker.

  • Introduced mid-race joining as spectator. No need to wait for a race to finish before joining, you can now immediately join into an available space and spectate until the start of the next championship.

  • Added the ability to adjust the points awarded for finishing positions, and fastest lap, in Race Settings.

  • Small adjustments have been made to fuel consumption to bring player and AI drivers into closer alignment.

  • Small adjustments to the slipstream effect.

  • Drift now has a higher top speed.

  • FIXED: In multiplayer server settings, the "number of players" limitation is no longer off-by-one.

  • FIXED: Addressed various "behind-the-scenes" small multiplayer bugs and issues.

  • FIXED: Engine volumes for Monster and Drift are now more in line with other car volumes.

  • FIXED: Players should no longer be able to reverse before the start of the race.

  • FIXED: Addressed a few memory leaks that could lead to decreased performance over time.

  • FIXED: Some cases where the terrain walls would generate incorrectly have been fixed.

User Interface

  • Updated some localisation strings for Russian.

  • In server browser, In-Race sessions now show how far through a championship the server is.

Track Editor

  • FIXED: Tracks created in the Editor can now be immediately used in Multiplayer without a game restart.

Known Issues

  • Car liveries may be displayed incorrectly, on occasion, to spectators - this will be fixed in a hotfix patch soon.
