MULTIPLAYER:

- Cars are now always positioned in 45 degrees in FP and Q sessions.
- Player car is now locked until green flag + 20 seconds when teleported from the grid or formation lap.
- Added IGTC tracks to server configuration: kyalami_2019, mount_panorama_2019, suzuka_2019, laguna_seca_2019.
NOTE: non-DLC owners can also set up servers with DLC tracks.
- Formation lap type is now configurable via settings.json: New system (default), old system (with limiter), free (for private servers)
- New Formation lap type for Multiplayer, including position tracking widget - to be used in official and CP servers and optional in private MP servers.
Guidelines:
- In "Single file" phase, player must follow the target widget, it should be relaxed enough to allow for warming up tyres and brakes.
Being out of target by significant margins results in teleport to pits.
- In "Double file" phase, players should find their target position as soon as possible and hold speed and side once there.
- In "Pre-green" phase (when the speed delta appears), players must lock their speed to the delta.
Speeding or moving out of lateral and longitudinal position during the pre-green phase grants a penalty based on severity.
The system works on a protect-the-innocent basis, the player can ignore what other cars are doing around them, the important thing to pay attention to is their own position and speed.
Collisions are disabled during the formation lap and regained once any overlap is ended.
- New dynamic fast formation spawns for MP.
- Server and client penalties now correctly accumulate.
- Server post-race time penalties are now applied on top of mid-race penalties.
- Pitlane speeding in non-race sessions no longer disqualifies the player, only teleports the client back to the pits.
- Fixed missing lap countdown for Race Control penalties.
- Temporarily disabled server settings: "isRaceLocked" (active by default) and event rules "driverStintTimeSec" and "maxTotalDrivingTime".
- Updated server admin handbook to provisional version 6a.

RATINGS:
- Added new track medals for DLC owners.
- TR rating now scales dependent on DLC ownership.
- SA Trust generation adjustments.
- CP servers will run DLC tracks in a parallel schedule.
