    Changelog:

    • Ranked MP - A new "Practice" button has been added to each event, launching a Time Attack session with the same car and track combo. Note: Currently, there is no HUD notification system for when the race server becomes available. A warning about time remaining will be shown before loading into practice instead. A proper notification system will be added in a future update.
    • Ranked MP - Qualifying via Leaderboard Laptimes When an event uses leaderboard laptimes to set the starting grid, the Practice button becomes "Qualify". This feature will be used on Daily Sprints to ensure a higher pace of events. - Players without a recorded laptime for the car/track will start at the back. - Once a time is set, it can be improved until joining the server.
    • Ranked MP - Conflict Detection for Overlapping Events Added a warning and block when registering for two events that overlap in time, where it's not possible to attend both.
    • Ranked MP - Menu Data Update Fix Fixed an issue where the player’s stats (left side of the screen) were slow to update.
    • Fix for failing to load onto the track when challenging a time attack ghost
    • HUD - Mini display - fixed showing "VE -1%" in leaderboards with an lmdh car and for a wrong text when switching between an lmdh and a standard car while fuel use was disabled
    • Settings - Adjusted down the default values for head movement in cockpit
    • Settings - “Driver Names” now defaults to OFF for new players, for a cleaner screen
    • Settings - Hud Overlays now defaults to “Essentials Only” for new players, for a cleaner screen
    • Possible fix for a game crash when forcing next session through dedicated server interface
    • Audi V8 DTM 92 - Fixed visual bug on rims when driving above a certain speed
    • BMW 320i E36 Super Touring - Shift light added
    • BMW M3 E30 ‘Drift’ - Fixed some LOD issues on the wheels
    • FRX22 - Fixed an issue where the battery would drain even when set to 0% discharge; added tyre markings for the various compounds
    • Formula cars - Improved tyre thread texture and roughness
    • Hypercars - tyre stiffness tweaks that result in sharper high speed/load steering to better match steering inputs from reference telemetry (ex: cornering speeds could be matched in the simulator, but with higher steering inputs than seen in reference telemetry)
    • Knutstorp - Fixed a wrong gravel material as well as small visual issues
    • Oschersleben (old version, not in store anymore) - rebuilt for compatibility with new rendering
    • Mazda MX-5 - Long final drive for Watkins Glen - Updated fuel use + estimate - Engine heating/cooling update - AI tweaks

    • VW ID.R - Visual tweaks
    • VW Scirocco - Fixed mirrored right hand side wheel centers and calipers; visual improvements for #81 metalness
