Racing
  • Time trials - 7 timed runs are back on the island: Touge Downhill, Touge Hillclimb, Kanjo Loop, Coast Ring, Onsen Kaido, gimba and the Quarter Mile. Cross a start line and the clock is already running

  • Ghost splits - every gate shows how far you are ahead of or behind your best, with the whole track drawn as a bar under the clock

  • Run finish - your time, the gap to your record and your payout land in the middle of the screen

  • Speed cameras - 6 cameras on the Kanjo and the coast road flash anyone doing over 100 km/h. Your top speed through each one is a record

  • Drift zones - 3 tracks in the drift park by Kannon temple: Minami, Kita and Higashi. Every lap is scored, and a crash burns the combo you were carrying

  • Leaderboards - a new page in the pause menu for every run, camera and zone: World, your Class, your Car and Friends. The top 10 and the drivers right around you

  • Achievements - 13 new for time trials, speed cameras and drift zones, from your first flash to 300 km/h past a camera

Map
  • Run icons - time trials, cameras and drift zones each get their own icon, filled in once you hold a record. Point at one to see its length, your record, the world best and your place

  • Straight to the leaderboard - click a run on the map to open its leaderboard. Back returns you to the map exactly where you were

  • Waypoint on anything - right-click a run, camera or zone to put your waypoint on its start

  • Waypoint beam - your waypoint stands in the world as a column of light with the distance to it

Tuning
  • Tuning menu - its own entry in the pause menu, with tabs for Engine, ECU, Gearing, Diff, Suspension, Brakes and Aero

  • ECU map - reshape the torque curve column by column, every thousand rpm. Push the top end up and the low end pays for it

  • Every gear - set each gear on its own and see the speed it tops out at

  • Cam gears - a new engine part. Advance the cams for low-end pull, retard them to move the power up to the limiter

  • Boost, launch, aero, torque split - boost pressure with the intercooler, launch control revs with the ECU remap, aero balance, and the front/rear split on all-wheel drive

  • Tyre pressure - set front and rear separately

  • Tuning cards - every setting shows what it changes: speed, acceleration, launch, handling, stability, grip, braking

  • Locked settings - every setting is listed before you own the part, with the part that opens it

Garage
  • Animal trophies - animal stickers are earned now: flatten one on the road to stick it, and stick as many as you've flattened

Sound
  • New music - Tokimeki and No Plans join the day station

Tuning
  • Overrun pops - now tuned on the ECU instead of bought with an exhaust: get the ECU remap and dial them from off to full. Exhausts still change how the engine sounds

Interface
  • Waypoint - on the map and the minimap it is now a small column of light, matching the one in the world, and draws above other players

Fixed

1 change
Performance
  • AMD crash - some AMD cards (RX 6600 XT) could crash shortly after loading into the island
