RaceRoom update tweaks free car, revises US content

To accompany the recent release of the Indianapolis Oval and Road Courses, the Formula RaceRoom US has had tyre improvements, with a small AI adjustment to the track to prevent the AI from running on the grass at race starts,

The constant flow of updates for RaceRoom is an encouraging sight, and the content updates are set to continue as Ferrari will be bringing its 488 GT3 Evo 2020 to the sim ahead of the 2021-2022 DTM Esports Championship. The first race of the series is set to take place on the 24th February, so we would expect Ferrari content to release beforehand.

Version 0.9.3.96 changelog

• Updated Fanatec SDK to 2021.07.22 V4.00
• Shared Memory API – Added the type of ground on which each wheel sits. Useful for motion rigs and various rumbling / shaking devices. (ref GitHub for the changes )
• Reduced smoke emitted from tyres in multiplayer that could be a bit much for certain cars
• Aquila – Increased range and fidelity of brake bias settings, equalised front/rear tyre wear rates, equalised front/rear tyre temperatures, lowered tyre optimal temp, improved grip of brand new tyres, updated wear/grip profile to give more linear drop off of tyre performance, improved base setup, tuned dampers (especially high speed range which results in significant improvements over bumps)
• DTM 2020 – Tweaked tyre heating/cooling behaviour so tyre temps stabilise faster
• Formula RaceRoom 3 – AI improvements, increased range and fidelity of brake bias settings
• Formula RaceRoom US – Increased range and fidelity of brake bias settings, reduced tyre heating so temperatures no longer continually increase through a run, equalised front/rear tyre wear and heat, calibrated tyre wear rates for both compounds, equalised AI/player tyre wear, increased mechanical trail for slightly increased steering self-centering
• Group 5 – AI improvements
• Group C – Increased range and fidelity of brake bias settings, tuned setups, improved tyre heating behaviour, equalised front/rear tyre wear, calibrated tyre wear rates for all compounds. Life expectancy now (S: 25min, M: 70min, H: 130min), equalised AI/player tyre wear, increased mechanical trail for slightly increased steering self-centering, raised R90CK rear roll centre for faster rear end response, added some track specific final drive ratios
• GTO – Increased range and fidelity of brake bias settings, tuned setups, improved tyre heating behaviour, equalised front/rear tyre wear, calibrated tyre wear rates for all compounds. Life expectancy now (S: 25min, M: 70min, H: 130min), equalised AI/player tyre wear, increased mechanical trail for slightly increased steering self-centering, reduced base and maximum boost pressures of Audi & Nissan
• Mercedes AMG GT4 – Corrected some positioning of spark emitters
• Tatuus F4 – AI improvements
• Indianapolis 2021 – Fixed issues with AI’s sometimes going on the grass during starts, improved AI racing line
