Thank goodness. All I want is to get to 30, and I flat out refuse to do the Indy 500 again.

Another new feature. You can now add weight to your car prior to a race if you've done weight reduction. You can raise it 1 KG at a time. You can also adjust the position of the weight. There is also a new thing called "Performance Points" in addition to Horse Power. It takes into account weight, downforce, and other non Horsepower related upgrades. You can also reduce the output of your engine, giving it less Horsepower if you want to give yourself a handicap, or meet a horsepower requirement?

They've also added Steering sensitivity to the Driving options menu prior to races.

There's also a confirmation now when you try to restart races.

You can Paint standard cars now also.. awesome?

 

[atiger]

Now you can change the gear ratios

... and apparently the cr payout on a and b spec events have gone back to pre 1.05 totals.
Dream Car events now pays 86,600cr, not 118,000cr as before.

It seems like everybody wins with this update!

[Eyegor]

confirmation menu's in the tuning shop appear to load much faster.

 

[EnzoDBR9]

Gawd, i'd almost call in sick tomorrow... no...... no.... no

BUT THIS IS GREAT

 

[brennonyo]

this is awsome

 

[Tommy_861]

SRF is locked on though

 

[illustratedrick]

Entire game seems to load faster and cr payout has gone down, BUT, xp payout looks to have increased a lot, like doubled. Have to check more races tho. SRF appears to be locked on a few events, not all.

 

[freshseth83]

Individual gear ratios, ballast weight/postion, Performance Points, weight add, power reducer... damn PD, you guys made a lot of folks happy with this update!

Are the new seasonals repeatable?

 

[alexxoux]

Awesome!!!👍👍

 

[nejakdivne]

Did anyone notice whether last week's Seasonals availability period stayed the same (i.e. ending next week) or was 'prolonged' to go along with this week's ones? I forgot to check before I went to work.
