Update v1.3.1



The new 1.3.1 update after the new Kenya Update is now here!



This includes improvements based on player feedback like tweaked AI master difficulty and reduced wear and tear.

[h2]And[/h2] it's almost the anniversary of the original launch on September 23rd we've never stopped working on FREE content and updates for the game since!

After launch we've added the Heritage Update, Polacolour Update, and Kenya Update, which included new cars and soundtracks, along with cool things like Livery Mods and a huge UI overhaul. The game also launched on Xbox and Switch with Playstation coming soon.

Thanks for playing, for the positive and critical feedback, for the photos and videos capturing awesome moments and gorgeous perspectives, for the huge amount of custom liveries and for believing in us :)
