UPDATE 1.6 CHANGES:

Team Switching feature added

• Expand your legacy across the whole paddock by choosing to manage a new team at the end of a season.

Some Teams have had their season objectives adjusted to align better with other teams [NEW SAVES ONLY]

• Mercedes

1. Initial season objective: 2nd -> 3rd
2. Constructor's championship target season: 2024 -> 2025

• Alpha Romeo

1. Initial season objective: 7th -> 8th

• Alpha Tauri

1. Initial season objective: 7th -> 8th

Fixed an issue with Automatic mode in qualifying not using driver commands in an optimal way

Fixed an issue with Focus slider settings not providing expected results for Car Part Research Projects

Fixed an issue with AI teams only using one tyre compound after mid-session save

Fixed widescreen UI

THE FOLLOWING TOPICS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION:

• Balance of Track Grip Impact on Lap Times [Qualifying]
• Unfair Penalties
• Issue with cars colliding with static cars on track
• [NEW] Balance of 'Avoid High Risk Kerbs' tactic.

THE FOLLOWING ARE RESOLVED / AS INTENDED:

• Race Start Balance – Our investigation into race start behaviour confirms that the AI has no inherent advantage over the player and can only gain an edge by pushing hard with the same strategic/tactical options available to the player. Players can work to counter this by setting their Driver Options before the race begins to better prepare for the opening laps.
