What's up drivers!



We'd like to inform you, that we've successfully released a new server security improvement update, but as for now it's available only for PTR players.

This fix will go live for all players with the global release of 2.22.0 update.

What's up, drivers!



We've received many requests from you regarding improvements to the handling of various cars, so we've decided to conduct a large-scale rebalance of the vehicle lineup.

We have prepared several cars with what we believe to be optimal handling characteristics, and we would like to give you the opportunity to test them right away.

⚒ List of cars:
Thunderstrike
Hunter
UDM 3
Spark ZR
Shark GT
Cobra S650

! To participate in the test, you need to switch to the Ultimate modification. !

We would appreciate your feedback on the direction of these improvements. You can share your impressions through a survey form: https://forms.gle/bxwwh1UWAvf5TqhUA

To switch to the test build, right-click on the project name in your library, select 'Properties' from the menu, go to the 'Beta versions' tab, and in the dropdown list, choose 'ptr_2.22.0_rebalanced_cars'.

We'll be waiting for your feedback!
