Project Motor Racing Update 2.0 released
Update 2.0 is a broad Project Motor Racing patch covering UI, online anti-cheat, Career Mode, driving physics, tyre behavior, a new ECU HUD widget, and visual/performance improvements.
We’ve got a substantial Project Motor Racing update to track with Straight4 Studios’ Update 2.0 overview. The studio says this release was shaped by community feedback, internal testing, and iteration, and that it sets a new baseline for the sim going forward.
What changed
