More of the world.
More of the race.

A world beyond the barriers

• All 30 circuits have photographic panorama backgrounds, using 23 landscape sources selected for the character of their locations.
• Sun direction follows each panorama’s light source, including the circuit’s rotation and camera-tilt correction. Cloudy scenes use weaker shadows; sunset scenes use warmer light.
• Planning Circuit and Technical Challenge use open, distant landscapes. Alpine Loop’s panorama is oriented for a clearer opening approach.
• Volcanic Pass uses a ground tone suited to its Icelandic backdrop.

Better movement, better race coverage

• Highlights use smoother position and steering interpolation through corners.
• Crane, trackside, front-quarter and helicopter shots alternate between clips. The camera frames the drivers involved in the action.
• Opening and finishing action remain part of the 30–60 second reel. Captions describe events involving the drivers shown.
• The redraw and pit controls sit higher and farther outward on the wheel.
• Every driver starts with 3,500 m of fuel. The gauge, fuel cards and pit refill use the same capacity.

A broader collection

• The card pool contains 56 cards, with more ways to manage pace, resources and race situations.
• Limited-use effects show a remaining use count. Pit Preparation and Miracle are strictly once per race; Service Kit cannot restore them.
• Speed, Braking and Grip packs cost $80 in career cash and contain three themed cards plus two from other themes. The five-card Mixed pack costs $60.
• New careers begin with 20 km/h acceleration and braking cards. AI drivers have developed starting decks, with five randomized opponent variants in Single Race.

Choices between the races

• A playable story pilot adds three illustrated invitations after a race, shown in a shuffled order.
• The pilot includes one longer storyline, two side stories and five individual events, with saved choices and outcomes.
• Skipped invitations can return with different wording. Race incidents can create an additional encounter.
• All 16 races remain part of the career. Results and choices create setbacks and different outcomes along the way.
