addedWelcome to patch 1.8.0. Last patch we removed car-on-car collision to see its effect on the game. While there's a large group of users that like this change, there's also a substantial group of player that's don't. That's why we're introducing something new in the patch, game modes! The initial game modes are Time Trial and Arcade . Time Trial are about speed! No car collision, maximum racing! max players for this game mode is 200! Arcade is all about fun! Full car-on-car collision, maximum chaos! max players are 75!

changedWe've also patched / tweaked some others things:

fixedIntroduced game modes, time trial and arcade. - Game mode is displayed in pre-game lobby. - Increased leaderboard update interval, this fixes some close finish issues that happened. - Random time is no longer always night. It cannot always be night. - Vehicle labels (player names) are now hidden when the vehicle is far away from the camera. - Fixed a camera stutter issue when following a car manually. - Hide labels when in prop-camera mode. - Fixed Racecar Retro Game skin.

changedThis is a forced patch, meaning you have to update in order to start a race (server only works with version 1.8.0 🙂)
