• In Multiplayer, the mandatory pitstop setting now offers 3 choices: Off, 2 tyres changes & 4 tyres changes. Until now, it was always 2 fresh tyres that were mandatory, which did not allow to match esports ADAC GT Masters regulations where 4 tyre swaps are enforced.
  If set to 4 tyres and a player only changes 2, a time penalty is given at the end of the race.
  Note: In order to be validated, the 4 tyres need to be all changed in the same pitstop. Two consecutive pitstops of 2 tyre changes will not be validated.

[h2]Changelog:[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where the checkered flag could sometimes show up one lap early in multiclass races
  
• Upon serving a slowdown penalty, the lift of throttle coming with the sequential shifting is no longer counted as slowing down
  
• Shared Memory block: added engineState int for all drivers; -1 unavailable, 0 = ign off, 1 = ign on but not running, 2 = ign on and running
  
• Shared Memory block: added lap_valid_state for player; -1 = N/A, 0 = this and next lap valid, 1 = this lap invalid, 2 = this and next lap invalid
  
• Shared Memory block: added traction_control_percent for player; -1.0 unavailable, 0.0 -> 100.0 percent
  
• Shared Memory Block: Attempt at improving Lap distance calculations where values could sometimes be seen jumping and going backwards
  
• Shared Memory block: upped minor version to 10
  
• For Shared Memory API, refer to our github repo
• Physics: When starting a Hillclimb run, the tyres will now always be pre-heated.
  
• Spectator: Fixed cars falling through the ground at the very end of races.
  
• Spectator: Fixed an issue where the wrong car is shown upon switching to another type of TV cameras.
  
• Dedicated Server: Banning a user still required a server restart to take effect. Fixed that now so that if a player is kicked, the dedicated server will also prevent it from immediately rejoining the server.
  
• Content - Added CUPRA esport liveries for the upcoming CUPRA series.

[h2]Changelog:[/h2]

• Release of the long awaited RACEROOM COVID LOCKDOWN TOILET PAPER PANIC PURCHASE RACING EXPERIENCE
  
• Laser-Scanned shopping cart model
  
• New toilet paper shaders added
  
• Temporarily turning on Dx12 to allow for realistic movement of the toilet paper rolls
  
• Update to the physics engine to allow for gravitational forces on toilet paper rolls in accordance to general relativity.

• Improved performance by temporarily disabling cryptomining
  
• GT3 physics - changed everything
  
• ADAC 2020 - changed even more
  
• FIA: Added an upper speed limit of 180 kph in all cars to promote safe driving.
  
• Race results are no longer based on who finishes first. Instead all participants vote on who should win and then everyone gets a medal. Ranked Multiplayer changed in accordance, everyone gets the same score.
  
• Get Real: Increase charge time of electric cars to at least 45 minutes of pit stop time
  
• BHGP: Closed off the GP layout again to bring a meme back
  
• Added Night and Rain. Start any session and wait Long Enough™ to see it.
  
• Made Emilia Shift Weeb skins for all cars. Made those the only liveries too.
  
• Dedicated Server: Reverse grid option now properly flips cars orientation on the starting grid by 180 degrees.
  
• German Nationals physics update: Found an even older physics version of it, switched.
  
• Distanciated all spectators in grandstands in accordance to COVID regulations
  
• NSU TTS: New physics update that brings it back again to the previous iteration, but worse

• Motorsport Arena Oschersleben: Removed Motorcycle T1 layout. Sharp 90° turn 1 is now on all layouts
  
• Pit Limiter: Every time you enter the pitlane, you get a drive through. This was made to make it fair to those who don’t seem to be able to enter or exit a pitlane correctly.
  
• Analyzed traffic cones in our wind tunnel to accurately simulate their trajectories when hit by a vehicle. (Note: fluid dynamics maths involved will have a noticeable performance impact)
  
• Added portal short-cuts to some track layouts. These appear as large circles on some trackside objects. Coming close to one will prompt the user with a vRP purchase. Upon payment completion, you may drive through them to shorten the lap distance.
  
• Initial D-rift mode added. Complete with euro disco music and Vin Diesel voice lines giving you encouragement.
  
• Internal Combustion Engines cars now can only be used between 9:00 UTC to 17:00 UTC to reduce noise complaints.
  
• Added mandatory additional silencers to all cars’ exhausts on some track configurations where required by local regulations to reduce neighborhood noise levels. Cars will be significantly quieter on some tracks
  
• Removed references to UE4 in various parts of the code in preparation for UE5 rework.
  
• Added 'Fool Proof Cornering' as a fourth game mode besides Novice, Amateur and Get Real, as a physics teaser for the upcoming titles Raceroom Slot Car Experience and RailRoom.
  
• New Class added: Australian Nationals - features the Ford Falcon with a single fictional livery, running on the same physics model as the German Nationals class.
  
• Added real world pricing for Nordschleife Tourist layout - each lap will cost 2500 vRP on weekdays or 3000 vRP on weekends. 100 vRP will also be charged per incident point incurred
  
• Spa-Francorchamps: Adjusted Eau Rouge to match the 1994 layout for safer ranked racing.
