HUD The new HUD landed two weeks ago and you gave us plenty of feedback to work with. Today we cut the HUD's impact on performance, fix a few quirks, and implement the most requested features from your posts on our Discord. Full details below. GT3 The 4th of August update started reworking how pitch, ride height, drag and aero balance relate to each other across the GT3 class. Two more batches of that work are in this build, along with individual passes on the Ford Mustang FR500 GT3, the McLaren MP4-12C GT3, the RUF GT3 and the Mercedes SLS GT3. Cars that had their chassis or aero numbers recalculated will feel different on entry and mid corner rather than just faster or slower, so it is worth a few laps before you carry your old setups over. Free upgrades to two of our tracks We have updated Norisring to 2026 spec, with new road markings, 8k tarmac textures and a new paddock building.…
