• – BMW Z4 GT3
• – Ford GT
• – McLaren MP4-12C GT3
• – Skip Barber Formula 2000
• Fixed the wrist deformation issue for all vehicles with the first pass of hand-over-hand animation.

Visor

• Reduced the filth threshold for the automatic visor tear-off.

Pit

• Fixed an issue where the lollipop guy could sometimes render with an incorrect texture.

Cameras

• Fixed an issue where cameras could flicker when Camera View mode was set to anything but “Live” in the camera tool.

Replay

• Fixed an issue where no lap times appeared to be available when loading a saved replay.
• Fixed an issue that was preventing the weather information for a session from being displayed when playing a loaded replay.
• – Please be aware that there is an outstanding issue with the track temperature and display; the track temperature and display in a replay may differ slightly from what was reported during the live session. We are working on a fix for this issue.
• Fixed an issue with the replay voice chat review system that could cause it to identify your own voice chat as having been spoken by another entrant in the session. The bug affected the data that is saved to the replay, so earlier replays will still show the wrong information.
