Each sponson side (port and starboard) can be damaged (3) times before the race is ended. After (3) crashes on a single side, the race will restart. We will make the number of crashes in order to be disqualified an adjustable option for the player in the future.

Now, instead of being totally destroyed after crashing and the race ending, the boat will revert back to the crash area and the sponsons (or decks) of the boat will return to their original state. Each sponson side (port and starboard) can be damaged (3) times before the race is ended. After (3) crashes on a single side, the race will restart. We will make the number of crashes in order to be disqualified an adjustable option for the player in the future. This should be a more familiar approach to racing for your average gamer and reduce frustration.

One button start has been added and turned on by default. It can be turned off by the player in the gameplay options menu. Instead of having to use the fuel pump + ignition, players now only have to use the ignition button.

At the start of the circuit race with all the AI wakes happening, the screen would jitter as the AI wake effect needs to be toned down. It has been disabled by default but can be enabled at anytime. This will be re-enabled by default once improved.

Benchmark test was not firing. This has been fixed. Game should now automatically adjust visual settings based on your hardware the first time you run the game.

After rolling, flipping, or using the Killswitch, when the player restarted the engine, the player had to let go of the Throttle or the engine sound would fade away.
