Changelog V0.8.7.1:

This update rectifies some net code issues that have made close racing difficult in Multiplayer mode up to now – all good for quality online action now!
The new build also brings a round of AI performance calibration in this build to balance performance vs player following recent modifications, as a result, you may find necessary to adjust AI Strength from what you were running before in certain series in order to get the same performance from the AI. (fewer adjustments needed from series to series).
