Handling and balance changes
- Targeted handling adjustments: Several existing cars received fine-tuning to understeer/oversteer characteristics and braking behavior. These changes aim to better align vehicle performance with their real-world counterparts and to tighten parity in grouped classes.
- Transmission and differential tweaks: Minor updates to gear ratios and diff behavior improve drivability for certain cars, particularly mid-power front- and rear-wheel-drive models. Gameplay impact: expect altered corner entry speeds and slightly different apex behavior for affected cars; fast drivers can regain tenths by revising braking markers and throttle application.
