Audi 90 IMSA GTO: Some late-'80s madness here. Suspension geometry sketched up from our 3D model and photo reference; nothing too fancy going on. Gearbox is a mix of parts from the Group B WRC cars that came before it. Lovely little engine (coolest sounds ever) with little turbo lag and good for 720Nm / 720hp. Real car could be set up anywhere from 50:50 to 30:70 on the AWD torque split and I've used our hybrid system to land it somewhere in the middle. I know some people feel icky about doing it this way, but it really is a nice, effective simulation of AWD torque biasing that we can do now before spending the time on code for a fully adjustable, three-differential physics model. Aero is not lovely; typical mid/late-80s stuff here. While Group C cars were getting into underbody tunnels and crazy downforce numbers, the airflow management in GT was still quite crude and, at best, gave very modest downforce numbers. Means the car is very quick, but can feel a little unbalanced in performance. Not great in cornering, but it sure grips up and rockets out of the exits as few others can. Matches up quite well with the Trans-Am Mustang, or new GT3 stuff even. Huge power, light weight and super wide tires can do a lot for you.

Audi R8 LMP900: Nothing too fancy about this one, and maybe that’s why it was so dominant over its lifetime. Simple, effective suspension; aero package with strong downforce at expense of slightly higher drag; powerful engine with little to no turbo-lag. Can run fast laps all day long in this without feeling stressed. No traction control allowed when this car ran back in 2000-2006, so it’s all up to you to manage that 625hp. Great competitor for the Bentley Speed 8. Will have the measure of the BMW V12 LMR at most tracks - there was big progress in LMP900 performance from ‘99 to 2002 - but it could be a fun matchup with the right drivers.

Audi R18 e-tron quattro: This was a particularly exciting car to work on after it won Le Mans last year. The new hybrid regulations provide some very cool engineering challenges and the teams are, unsurprisingly, reluctant to share much data which could be used to work out where advantages may exist. That meant lots of work on our side to examine the data that was available and do some reverse engineering to figure out the details. Here’s an overview of all the essential areas and what we found.

Game Crashes
We spent a lot of time working directly with a number of users who were struggling with game crashes, and resolved as many of these as we could. The various fixes in this patch should help a great deal in making the game more stable for those of you who were experiencing these instabilities.

Pitting, tuning, setups
* Fixed a case where the in-game tuning Setup was not being saved under certain conditions.
* Fixed the issue with cold and current tyre pressure mismatches in pitstop strategy, as well as cold pressure not being correctly applied in the tyre system.
* Ensure that the Default pitstop strategy is selected as the Active one when starting a new session.
* Fixed an issue where the wrong vehicle setup would at times be applied to the player’s current vehicle.
* Fixed another case of where cars would sometimes leave the pits with an invisible reattached wheel.
* Fixed an issue with the Pit Strategy screen where the displayed values did not reflect the saved settings.
* Fixed an issue in online races where the pit crew would ignore any changes made to the pit strategy once the player’s car was stationary in the pit box.
* Reworked some tyre compound names as displayed in the setup screen to ensure that all compounds are named to be indicative of the type of compound it represents in the pit strategy screen.
* Restrict the selectable pit strategy tyre compound types to only those available for the current vehicle.

Online
* Fixed an issue where the Drive button would remain permanently locked when joining an in-progress session.
* Fixed an issue where, when the player progressed from qualifying to the start of the race, the player’s car would sometimes begin moving without player, resulting in false jump-starts.

Controls
* New Feature – Implemented the ability via menu sliders for the user to manually tweak the menu spring strength, stationary / low speed spring strength, and overall steering gain.
* New Feature – The Force Feedback Calibration screen now features a multiple force feedback profile selection whereby the user can select a base FFB style that suits personal preference, and then tweak it further as desired. This will then create a ‘Custom’ entry in the profile selection list in addition to the current options: "Default" (matches the FFB default settings in Patch 2.0) and "Classic” (matches the FFB settings in the original release).
* Fixed an issue with sudden loss of FFB after a crash.
* Reduced the strength of the menu spring for custom wheels.
* Fixed an issue where Mouse controls were showing a deadzone in the centre regardless of deadzone setting.
* Fixed an issue where rumble on the gamepad could at times cause the game to slow down.
* Added support and profiles for the Logitech G29 and G920 on PC
* Added accelerator slip vibration to the wheel rim of Fanatec wheels where available, and fixed brake rumble not working.

Vehicles
* Formula A – Added a new tire set which now includes two slick tires - soft and medium. Also rebalanced the heating and wear across all four tyre sets. Wear will now more closely match real-world Formula cars. Heating is more even front to rear also. Further rebalancing of the AI speed as was required, and tweaks to the base setup to accommodate the heat change.
* Modern street cars - New stiffer tyres for improved drivability to more closely match the real world experience, making these cars more fun and engaging to drive. Made tweaks to the individual setups of the FWD and most Supercars to accommodate the change.
* Mclaren P1 - Stiffened up the default suspension to help prevent bottoming out at tracks like Nordschliefe.

RENAULT-ALPINE A110 1600 (1973)
Concepita come sostituta del modello A108, la Renault Alpine A110, se ne differenzia in maniera sostanziale per quanto riguarda meccanica e telaio. Nel corso degli anni il propulsore ebbe svariate configurazioni. Nella sua prima versione, si trattava dello stesso motore della Renault R8 con cilindrata da 950 cc e 50 cv, comunque sufficienti a raggiungere i 160 Km/h. La cilindrata fu in seguito aumentata, così come le prestazioni, e nella versione del 1973 l’Alpine arrivò a sviluppare 148 cv, con un peso di appena 730 Kg. In questa configurazione l’auto era in grado di raggiungere velocità nell’ordine dei 215 Km/h. La storia di quest’auto è strettamente legata ai rally. Sin dal suo esordio sul mercato partecipò con successo a queste competizioni ottenendo ottimi risultati. Nel suo palmarès figura il primo posto nel Campionato Marche del 1973 e vittorie nei rally di Monte Carlo, Portogallo, Marocco, Acropoli, Sanremo e Corsica.

FORD RS200 (1985)
Nel 1981 Ford Motorsport iniziò a lavorare sul progetto di una vettura che corresse nel Gruppo B. Questo primo tentativo, denominato Escort RS 1700T, non venne portato a termine per una serie di problematiche tecniche. Tuttavia la casa americana non abbandonò l’idea, che si concretizzò nel 1984 con la Ford RS200. L’auto aveva una trazione integrale e motore centrale da 1.803 cc, che nella sua versione da gara poteva erogare fino a 460 cv. Dotata di trasmissione a cinque rapporti, la RS200 montava sospensioni a quadrilatero con doppi ammortizzatori per ruota, uguali sia all’anteriore che al posteriore: queste donavano alla vettura una guidabilità e una tenuta di strada eccellenti. L’impegno nella progettazione del telaio fu tale che vide coinvolti anche ingegneri provenienti dalla Formula 1, mentre la carrozzeria venne realizzata in plastica e fibra di vetro. Dati i tempi di realizzazione particolarmente stretti, l’estetica particolare della RS200 fu il risultato del collage di varie componenti prese in prestito da altre vetture del produttore.

In fase di sviluppo presso lo studio italiano Milestone, Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo sarà disponibile in autunno 2015 per Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC/Steam

These functionalities are currently implemented externally and only for the player´s car - one of our goals with the campaign is to fully integrate them into the codebase for AI & multiplayer to bring the dynamics of tire management & behavior to another, far more realistic level. Speaking of dynamics, we´re also pushing to confirm another fundamental element of real racing into our list of coding goals within the campaign´s budget - watch this space!
Since there is no such thing as too much goodness, this video also gives a glimpse of our new modern Montreal track - already confirmed as future free additions for both Stock Car Extreme & Formula Truck thanks to all of those who already contributed with our crowdfunding campaign!
