[h2]Added new online race track[/h2]

We added the race track from the first special event to the selection of online and time trial tracks. The starting point is now on the back straight so that the hairpin is not the first corner of the track to avoid accidents in the first corner. We've also removed the big shortcut over the grass slope, because we think it's not desirable in online and time trial races.


[h2]Adjusted online respawn mechanic[/h2]

We changed the respawn mechanism so that in online races players are no longer respawned on the first or last place. It should no longer be possible to win a race by pure luck respawn.


[h2]Added stability control[/h2]

We have added a stability control option that works like in a real car in case of skidding, with very fast, short interventions by braking the front wheels individually to stabilize the car. This is indicated by a flickering brake light.
Its activated by default, but you can turn it off in the settings, then it will behave exactly as before. It's built so that you can leave it on permanently without any disadvantage.


[h2]Bugfixes & other changes[/h2]

• lowered gamepad dead zone
  
• fixed server backfill
  
• fixed multiple crossing of the finish line bug
  
• fixed respawn on starting grid

We've worked many years getting DRAG to where it is today. And lots of great things are coming up in early access as well. We hope you will have a fun time and we would love seeing you and racing with you guys online.

If you are into racing games and up for a challenge, we think that you are going to like DRAG a lot! It's not an easy game by any means, but very rewarding. The game is in a well tested and even polished state where you can have a lot of fun and enjoy tons of hours of gameplay, single or multiplayer.

[h2]Why Early Access?[/h2]

We are in the process of adding to the game step by step, and you can help us to focus on the right things ahead. We'll be working on this game for years to come and we want to make something truly special.

Thank you for your support and feedback!
