2025 Season 3 Patch 1 Release Notes [2025.06.12.02]

This Patch Release contains updates and fixes for the 2025 Season 3 Release.

Paint Kit

Improved the camera view centering behavior for the Helmet and Firesuit.

Fixed an issue where the Paint Kit camera’s view would reset the camera pitch whenever loading a new car.

SIMULATION:

AI Racing

Fixed an issue where AI Drivers could go brain-dead if they remained on gravel or mud surfaces for too long. It was a very traumatic experience for the AI community.

Connectivity

The Connection Black Flag rule may now be enabled in Hosted Sessions!

When enabled, the Connection Black Flag rule functions exactly as it does for Official Sessions in the Hosted Session. Drivers with intermittent and unstable connections to the race server may receive a black flag, and be sent to pits until their connection improves.
