Every place has the same consensus of an update today. Not sure at what time.Is the next update still scheduled to happen today?
Can anyone confirm?
There’s two changes under the hood too, one of which will come as more welcome news than the other. PD notes it has “adjusted the geometry calculations” which caused a lack of rear-end grip particularly on rear-wheel drive cars, and this should now be improved. In addition, an error with the Performance Points calculation has been addressed.

IDAFC21 Paul, is the force feedback on curbing embarrassingly minimal for you? Curious if I’m chasing an adapter/wheel problem, or if the game doesn’t deliver here.
Yeah, a bunch of my laps are in the 1 minute 30 range due to slowing down around those assholesYeah, ive tried running it at 4 after the first 2 or 3 laps, but it still consumes too much juice. Just gonna have to leave it on 6 or 5 the whole race I guess if I wanna make it through. Its not like the cars that much slower even at 6 And laps where you have to lap the field theres no point in running it any higher because you're not gonna be using full power anyways trying to avoid all those knobs.
