It's now been 1 year since TRF launched on Steam, thank you all for your support!

To celebrate, a new update is being released, this update adds a new game mode that is playable by up to 4 players.

It is based on the TRON/Snake, where each car leaves a trail behind it, and has to try and make the other drivers hit their trail, whilst not slowing down themselves, or hitting another trail, including their own!

Alongside this, dynamic rain and dynamic snow are appearing as new weather types, when the weather is set to these, the intensity of rain/snow will vary throughout the race, causing changing driving conditions and visibility.

I hope you all enjoy this update, here's the full changelog:
