[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.
  
• Track Limits are now made random from session to session in order to better simulate the human factor seen in recent F1 races.
  
• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
