A new global Ranking System is now available. Time Attacks, online races, and tournaments award ranking points that contribute to a shared global leaderboard, accessible from the main menu. This system connects multiple activities under a single progression path, encouraging consistency and long-term competition across the entire TrackDayR experience.
Traffic has been introduced in its first early version and represents an important step toward a more alive world. In Bike Journey, traffic is fully synchronized for all players and includes working traffic lights. Vehicles are driven by proximity-based logic: they slow down or stop when obstacles are detected and will honk if blocked. Developing this system also allowed us to perform extensive optimization work, resulting in noticeably smoother overall performance.
We’ve introduced improvements to how the rider physically reacts to the bike during movement. The rider now responds more naturally to acceleration, braking, and direction changes, improving visual coherence and overall riding feel. This work helps strengthen the connection between bike dynamics and rider behavior, making motion and transitions feel more consistent and believable.
We introduced a redesigned clutch model that reacts in a more natural and realistic way. Engagement, slip behaviour and recovery have all been improved to deliver a smoother and more authentic riding feel.
The Radial Menu has been refined to better adapt to different play styles and input devices. Page switching via LB and RB has been added to improve navigation speed, especially when using a controller. This change reduces visual clutter while allowing access to a wider range of actions directly during gameplay.
Motoball is now available both on the TDR Island map and in a dedicated arena within Bike Journey. While the island version blends naturally into the open world, we created a separate arena for players looking for faster, more focused matches. The arena features full goal functionality, with the ball resetting correctly after goals or when leaving the play area. Players can grab and hold the ball using a dedicated grab mechanic, and perform a directional shot using a dedicated action button. We’re actively looking for player feedback to further expand and refine this mode with new features.
We dedicated substantial effort to improving stability, performance and consistency across physics, UI, loading and open-world behaviour. TrackDayR now runs smoother and more reliably across all configurations.
A new version of the dedicated server console is now available.
