There is now a minigame on race starts, were you get a boost/penalty if you keep your revs in the right range. I'd love if you could tell me what you think about it. There is also a way in the options menu to turn it off/on.
This version also includes an improved race line for the AI, it is generated dynamically, so it also works for workshop items ; )
