[p]Hey Drivers![/p][p]Today we’re rolling out Patch 1.3.20.

This update is mostly about QoL improvements and addressing community feedback, especially around some achievement requirements.[/p][p]We’ve been following the discussions about playtime and stage requirements, and after reviewing the average championships completion time, we decided to adjust them to be more reasonable.

  • [p]Tofuyama: stages 21, 22, 23[/p]

[p]Changes:
[/p][p]Based on community feedback, we’ve updated the requirements for selected achievements:[/p]
