Other Improvements[]
12 new My Home theme colours and 12 new wallpapers for [GT Mode] have been added to the game. Please select these from the [My Home Settings] - [My Home Design] menu on the left side of the screen.
Tyre wear speed prediction has been added to the pit stop decisions in B-Spec, to prevent tyres from wearing out completely during long races.
Regenerative braking (which recovers energy by converting kinetic energy into electricity) in electric cars has been made stronger to extend driving range.
Electric cars will now also creep forward (as with standard automatic cars) when the brake is released without pressing the accelerator.
The increased performance due to the downforce produced by the fan is now calculated in the performance points of the Chaparral 2J race car.
Correction of Known Issues[]
A issue has been corrected where the car would pit in unintentionally during the last lap of a B spec race.
