    Hello team Reiza,
    I don't know if this is the correct way to report bugs but I will give it a try:
    I am driving in VR with shadows disabled to help the performance. Thankfully the cars still keep a little contact shadow underneath them so they dont look like they float.
    Unfortuantely I noticed some cars are missing this contact shadow (no matter the distance) which is quite distracting. Examples are the red #50 Corvette and the yellow Porsche in GT Classics. I was driving on the Nordschleife 2020. I have no idea if this is car- or track-specific or if this is a random bug. I noticed it before in Group A and BMW M1 races.
    Long story short: When 1.6 ist finally released it would be great if someone looks into this issue.
    Thank you!

    With shadows completely disabled (trust me, I get it) you can see a thin line around the tires which can be distracting, but that's the cost of shadows off. Renato said in one of the recent Dev updates that work on aliasing and shadows will be one of the focus' after 1.6 releases. I for one look forward to the shadow work, as I find them extremely distracting when on track, especially the tree's.

    This is a bug that constantly happens with me. Randomly some cars will not display the contact shadow. Only way to "fix" it is to exit & restart the game. I'm playing in regular non-VR mode with pretty much all GFX settings maxed out.

    This just happened to me for the first time, took me a minute to figure out why everything looked really fake and lofi compared to usual and then realized none of the cars had dark shadows under them. I restarted the game and it sort of half fixed it, most of the cars had the dark shadow underneath them again but not all cars. Some cars just didn't, and they never popped back in - didn't seem to have anything to do with distance or LOD changes.

    FWIW I'm playing in VR, with shadows on Low.
