Update 1.0.2 — Mascots, DTR Coin and League improvements

🧸 Meet your new racing companions!
Collect 9 new mascots alongside your starter, Dex Racer! Equip one to boost a vehicle stat, race credits, mastery rewards or crate drop chance.
Duplicates automatically level up your mascots. Find them through Activities or by clicking your companion beside the HUD. Hiding its appearance keeps the equipped bonus active!
🪙 DTR Coin & Mascot Machine
Each play costs 1 DTR Coin:

Common: 75%
Uncommon: 20%
Rare: 5%
New crates have a 10% chance to contain a coin instead of equipment. Each crate still awards one item.
Coins can be sent to your Steam Inventory and sold on the Community Market. To use them in the machine, they must be in your in-game inventory.
💗 A new pink convertible
A pink convertible joins the base-game lineup for 5,000 credits, with all base stats at 100 and no DLC required!
All other credit-purchasable base-game cars now cost 5,000 credits too. The starter remains free.
🏆 Fairer League matchmaking

Fixed ±100 MMR range around the room’s reference player — up to 200 MMR between participants.
The range no longer widens over time.
Searches last up to 60 seconds, then use offline projections within range, followed by bots.
Bot Power is capped at 105% of the weakest human or offline projection’s Power.
Bots have zero MMR weight. Racing only against bots leaves your MMR unchanged.
Humans and offline projections count according to MMR and opponent count.
🔧 Other improvements

Plincar updates your displayed reward balance once the car lands on its reward slot.
The first Steam item achievement unlocks upon receiving eligible equipment in-game.
DTR Coin does not count toward Steam equipment acquisition stats.
UI and localization improvements.
See you on the track! 🏎️

Activities and Plincar
Look for the dice icon to open the new Activities menu! Here you'll find Plincar: choose Credit, Scrap, or Mastery, then watch the little car make its way down the board to reveal your prize.

Every 10 eligible races earns you one free spin.
Races from before the update count too!
Save up your spins and use them whenever you like.
Every spin awards some of your chosen resource, without spending any of your resources.
Your races keep running while you play!
Sell your parts
You can now sell parts from your Inventory for Credit. Open the menu for an unequipped part and select Sell. The amount depends on the part's rarity and upgrade level, and you'll see it before you confirm.
An easier way to complete your Collection
Left-click or right-click an empty Collection slot to see two options:

View Inventory: filters the matching parts you already own.
Open Steam Market: takes you straight to the missing part's listing at the matching rarity.
Wiki, Discord, and the full leaderboard

New buttons in Settings let you visit the Wiki and join the game's Discord.
The new Full Leaderboard button in the League panel opens the rankings on the website.
The Wiki and leaderboard open in your selected game language.
Improvements and adjustments

General adjustments to progression and championship organization.
Improved display of ranking positions in the League leaderboard.
The button to collapse the management panel is now in the top-right corner of the Garage.
Plincar follows the Reduce motion setting, and the new text is translated into every language available in the game.
