Update v1.3.0

This update brings a new option for Hotlap mode. You can enable a practice line overlay which will show you a generally good line to take on each course, and change color to show you when you should speed up or slow down. This will help beginners learn how to navigate some of the tricky corners where slowing down won't necessarily help you if you are not on the correct line.

  • Fixed: Racer could be seen as "Not Ready" by client when they were actually ready and race was starting
