Added new online race track

We added the race track from the first special event to the selection of online and time trial tracks. The starting point is now on the back straight so that the hairpin is not the first corner of the track to avoid accidents in the first corner. We've also removed the big shortcut over the grass slope, because we think it's not desirable in online and time trial races.

Adjusted online respawn mechanic

We changed the respawn mechanism so that in online races players are no longer respawned on the first or last place. It should no longer be possible to win a race by pure luck respawn.

Added stability control

We have added a stability control option that works like in a real car in case of skidding, with very fast, short interventions by braking the front wheels individually to stabilize the car. This is indicated by a flickering brake light. Its activated by default, but you can turn it off in the settings, then it will behave exactly as before. It's built so that you can leave it on permanently without any disadvantage.
