As a follow-up to the latest v1.1.1.0 update last weekend, Reiza Studios have released a hotfix to the simulation.
The last update was a fairly major one, bringing us the Ginetta G40 amongst a number of improvements to the title. This one, however, is a bit smaller but still packs a punch.
Our shortlist of the most prominent updates to the simulation include:
- A number of AI improvements, including in the rain
- Track rubber is reset after rain
- Reduced slick tyre water dissapation
- A minor increase in brake cooling rates
- Slight increase to the draft effect for all cars
The update should auto-download the next time you open Steam or the game (if it hasn’t already).
