Big content update with several new vehicles, new features and a big expansion to the Arena map.
- Added 3 new vehicles: the “EDGE” side-by-side (with a working CVT), the “LABORER” SUV with a ton of customization, including complete rear end swaps and truggy builds, and the “LTV” ATV featuring floating wheels and tank steer, and it has to be obtained via a series of missions starting on Desert.
- Added a big expansion to Arena with working drag strips (pre-stage, stage lights included. If both lanes are pre-staged, they sync up their tree lights). The strips come in 1/4 mile and 1 mile on asphalt, and there are 3 1/8 mile strips on various surfaces (grass, mud, sand). There are also now a bunch of stunt ramps on the map, including quarter, half and full pipes, loops, etc.
- Added night mode for all maps. To enter night mode, check the Night checkbox before going on a map, and for multiplayer night is assigned randomly to random rooms, or can be selected manually when creating one. You can complete missions and trails in night mode as well, but not races, since the bots haven’t found out how to turn on the headlights yet.
- Added colorable working lights to all vehicles, including additional lights and lightbars you install as parts. Light intensity depends on the number of lights you have installed as well.
- Separated suspension and wheel setup for front/rear.
- Added 2 new currencies - Gold and Rare Parts. Gold can be used to purchase vehicles, upgrades, and consumables. Rare parts can be used to purchase specific special mission unlocks and specific high level vehicles and parts. Gold is earned by winning and destroying opponent vehicles (if they’re the same level as your vehicle or higher) in races and derbies, completing trails faster than par time, and by finding it in crates. Rare Parts can be earned by completing trails extremely quickly (Faster than par time by the same factor as par time is faster than time limit), winning a derby while destroying all opponent vehicles while having the same or lower vehicle level as them, winning a race while destroying an opponent vehicle, and finding them in crates.
- Added 7 consumable items you can use to temporarily boost your performance that you can buy for Gold in the Items store section.
- Added crates with randomized rewards onto levels (excluding Arena), in which you can find Points, Gold, Rare Parts and various consumables, depending on their rarity.
- Reworked some existing models a bit in preparation for parts overhauls (for instance, you’ll notice the “YOTER” has a modelled frame, engine, and other underbody parts, and is a bit cleaner looking in general).
- Worked on derby scoring and placement a bit, now if you have the same amount of destructions as an AI vehicle, you will get a higher spot than them, giving you the win in some cases. Also reworked an annoying glitch where destructions would be attributed to the last hit rigid body which in some cases was a tire stack. So those pesky tire stacks will stop stealing your glory.
- Halved over-inflated derby destruction rewards, instead adding Gold rewards for them, and Rare Parts if you destroy every opponent vehicle while not outleveling them.
- Reworked how the game calculates displayed vehicle speed and made it consistent with MPH and KM/H, which is now displayed and can be selected in the controls settings menu.
- Raised stock and low level vehicle maximum speed to be a bit more realistic and consistent with the reworked speed measurements. Overall vehicle speed has increased, despite the perceived numbers, especially in MPH.
- Raised overall tire grip, especially at lower level, while keeping maxed tire grip close to what it was.
- Added 2 new tire models
- Tire models now affect grip per surface type, as shown in the wheel customization menu
- Added a flex testing rig in the vehicle customization menu
- Added the ability to upgrade and change setups while in online free roam
- Limited account renaming to once per day to thwart some online griefing

- Added 4 special missions that demonstrate the LTV’s capabilities, and provide progress to the one you get as a project vehicle.
- Added social login with Facebook and Sign in with Apple, you can now link those to your account for account recovery, and login to them after reinstalling the game on any device. You can’t go online from 2 devices on the same game account though.
- Refreshed daily challenge vehicle setups to be more interesting and unique, reworked the daily mission system a bit to hopefully prevent some of the issues some players experienced.
- Readjusted most Racers dealership vehicles.
