Concerning today’s update, the main feature is a reworking of the game’s slipstream effect, which Straight4 suggests will offer ‘more consistent drafting behaviour, and improved balance, creating better overtaking opportunities and tighter battles to get that photo finish over the line’.

Third spring adjustment has also been introduced for high downforce machinery like the LMDh cars, which should offer more stability tuning options, while brake duct adjustment is now also possible (albeit only for LMDh cars for the moment).

A few other minor tweaks have also been made, including ‘alpha-specific settings’ for the game’s work-in-progress VR mode. Intriguing.

The full changelog for update V2.0.0.6 is listed below.
