iRacing 2020 Season 4 Hotfix 1 Released

More work has been completed on the iRacing user interface with iRacing 2020 Season 4 Hotfix 1 released.

We’ll keep seeing improvements and updates to the new UI as content increasingly moves from the classic member website to the new method of accessing series, races and time trials. It won’t be long before any remaining niggles and issues are hammered out by the team at iRacing.

The iRacing 2020 Season 4 Hotfix 1 update also includes some changes for the new Dallara P217 LMP2 car, with the Throttle Shape option now in telemetry and able to be bound to a hotkey, and futher work on the tyre choice options for the McLaren MP4-30.

Plus some changes to the rear damper lengths on the Ford GT GT2 and GT3 versions should help the handling and tendency to bounce and pogo with certain tuning settings. Which means better grip and corner exit.
