NEW Vintek Juggernaut, more stable vehicle physics, 21:9 support, new song, exploding barrels, updated Skytrack and more!
NOTE: The Raptor hit effects when shooting an opponent seem to be messed up, in that they spawn far away from the targeted car, and are too big. We're unsure why this happened, but are looking into it

List of some known issues with this the current version of the game:
- Vehicle physics can still be screwy at times, causing your car to bounce unexpectedly, catch on geometry or spend too much time in the air. We've been aware of these types of issue for a while and have constantly been improving physics as we go.
- Islands Track: This map is still very early WIP and hasn't changed this update, but will for the next one
- The menus only support mouse navigation right now. Gamepad support will be coming as soon as possible.
- The race position on the HUD can be buggy and show the wrong number, or indicate that a car is in front of you, when they are not
- The machine gun hit effects can sometimes be too big and bright in this version. This will be fixed for next update
- Some users are reporting that pausing the game after finishing an event gets rid of mouse navigation
- Sometimes resetting the car on any map can transport you to another area of the map, changing your race placement. This is being looked into
- Missiles like to crash into the ground sometimes upon deployment. Sometimes the assassin missile crashes unexpectedly
- Race position may be messed up, or say AI are in front of a player when they are not. This happens rarely
List of changes/additions in this patch:
- The new Vintek Juggernaut! A tank class vehicle, and our first assymetrical car.
- Better vehicle stabilty and collision. Improved suspension model. Players should experience less catching on geometry or general unwanted bouncing
