    It's not just been implemented, it was revised - dirty air was always a thing for the player and it also is implemented for AI. Things can be tweaked further but please avoid assumptions.

    The new smoke effects are amazing and I hope the trackside dust will be dialed up as mentioned above.
    Currently I miss the flying sparks from AI formula cars (especially after Reiza managed to make them work in VR).
    Has it ever been considered to add some subtle sparks underneath GT cars (e.g. hitting bumps or curbs)?

    Agree with you, if eventually Reiza find the time / resource to enhance the spark effects the same way they improved the smoke effects, that’ll be really great for immersion. Authentic sparks have really erratic patterns, should be hard to simulate, but we can trust Reiza , as they are the studio that can always pull off these challenges.

    I have to say the draft is now a significant thing while racing just like IRL. Great job Team Reiza! The tire/physics update is close to perfection, the cars are so intuitive to drive now! What a long way we've come from the initial release. I can't wait to see whe V1.7.0 brings in the future. Hopefully we'll get much needed multiplayer settings/updates. :FingersCrossed:

    Unless I missed it... The Rally Cross cars seem to have been updated (tire physics). I just played a race at Nurburgring Rx... The 4wd drifting around both ends going from dirt to asphalt was amazing. Even my son was impressed, "how did you learn to drive like that?"

    This update is great!

    I love the new F1 cars.
    The F-Hybrid Gen-1 handles great, less difficult than the F1 Edge, although the latter is also fun to drive.


    Hopefully more Formula 1 cars will come.

    I dont know if its update related, but I lost acces to my nascar dlc. The cars wont show up in the list, and if you select any nascar preset the car selection menu does nothing.
    Edit: So i rolled back to the previous build and the nascar packs show again, So there probably is a bug in the latest update that causes this to happen

    The previous version had them in trial mode, you might need to run through these steps to add them to your library provided that you already own the other Racin' USA packs.

    The person above asked. Guess he thought there are posts made ahead of time.
