Update 0.35: DRS & ERS

New race systems

- Fully customizable DRS: add and edit DRS zones directly in the Circuit Editor (spline snap, wrap-around handling,

accurate zone length).

- Fully customizable ERS: new battery flow bar in race, configurable ERS modes (pace impact, deployment, recovery)

through the editor.

- Night racing & lighting: pick the time of day for each race and add lighting track by track.

- Weather visuals: new clouds and rain effects during races.

Dirty Air — full refactor

- Dirty air logic completely reworked.

- Choose the impact curve: linear / quadratic / cubic.

- All parameters are moddable — nothing hardcoded anymore.

- Fixed cascading effects between cars.

AI — new behavior

- Pace system rewritten with a probabilistic model (more variety, fewer robotic patterns).

- Fuel-aware AI: pit and push decisions now adapt to remaining fuel.

- Rain strategy reworked (tyre choice, wet undercut, qualifying residue).

- Sprint: tyre choice fixed.

- Aggressive/defensive modes: stuck-active state fixed.

- VSC pit AI reworked.

- All pace/strategy knobs exposed in the mod editor.

Drivers & Categories

- Per-category coefficients: tweak driver attributes category by category to keep things balanced and realistic.

Teams & Engines

- Engine Assistance: new fully customizable system that helps engines improve their development.

- Team Assistance: same concept on the team side.

- Catch-up tier system: new dev dynamic to keep the grid competitive.

- Reserves → active: you can now move reserve teams and reserve engines into the active pool.

- Team deletion refactored.

Tyres

- More customization for tyre temperatures (warm-up, operating window, thermal deg).

- Fixed the fuel-only pit bug that affected tyres.

Pitstops & Sectors

- Pitlane factor is no longer hardcoded — set realistic pit times per circuit.

- Sector auto-estimations are now significantly more accurate.

Race 2D Map

- Full visual overhaul.

- Improved leaderboard.

- Visual DRS zones on the map.

Translations

- missing keys added.

Bug fixes

- Almost every bug reported by the community has been fixed (reliability, incidents, endurance, swaps, multi-category
