Handling Improvements
-Reworked the handbrake mechanic for all race cars, increased slide functionality.
-Improved steering input curve. Slightly reduced sensitivity for small steering inputs, making smooth and precise steering easier.
-Improved keyboard steering, making it more competitive with controllers. The new steering function provides smoother input and reduces the jittery feel of rapid key taps. Brief taps will no longer apply full steering lock, reducing wheel friction and helping maintain speed.
-Improved suspension for all race cars, more travel and less pre-dampening making the car more controllable during bumpy roads.
Other/QOL
-Added ability to clear a key-bind completely in the input settings for both keyboard and controllers.
-Improved keyboard navigation in menus.
-Revised the countdown SFX.
-Adjusted diamond time on levels: The Ridge 1 & 3.
