Hey all, Patch 1.10 is now out on PC. Below are the notes for this patch:

• Safety Car - Fixed the falling too far back system so it will no longer give penalties incorrectly.
• Safety Car - Lapped cars will no longer be able to overtake cars that have lapped them.
• Fixed a bug that meant players could be disqualified when someone behind them did a jump start and drove through them while ghosted.
• Increased the terminal damage threshold from ~7m/s to 15m/s. (The terminal damage threshold is the speed below which you cannot terminally damage your car).
• Fixed a minor graphical issue on the Ray Ban sponsor on the Ferrari.
• Fixed a bug that caused the delta to stop working during a virtual safety car period.
• Fixed a bug that could cause cars to become desynchronised during multiplayer sessions. A red “disconnected” cross icon is now displayed next to the name of any player who has not sent network information recently to warn you that there is a connectivity issue.
