iRacing 2020 Season 4 Patch 5 Released

There aren’t many major changes with iRacing 2020 Season 4 Patch 5 released, but a number of niggles and issues have been fixed.

Along with improvements to the user interface, there are changes to race control for events finishing under cautions, or using the new pit exit delay options. Plus there’s a collision incident update for the Old Damage Model to check whether you’ve hit a non-racing surface or not before the incident is reported.

SIMULATION:

Race Servers
– Two new Race Server farms for hosting user-created Hosted Sessions have been brought online.
– – These new Race Server farms are JP-Tok in Tokyo, Japan, and BR-Sao in São Paulo, Brazil.
– – – When creating a Hosted Session, select the Race Server farm geographically closest to you in order ensure ideal connectivity and racing for your session.
– – No Official Races are planned to be run on these Race Server farms at this time.

Race Control
– When a Race finishes under Caution, you should now receive the same pace order messages as you would under any other Caution. This may help to prevent unexpected penalties due to passing under a Yellow Flag after a Race has finished.
– Fixed an issue with the new pit exit delay Race Control system where if the first and last cars on grid are on either side of the Start/Finish line, the grid traversal time would compute out to be negative instead of wrapping positive, resulting in a 2.0 second Pit Exit Hold Penalty for some racers.

Old Damage Model
– Collision incident reporting has been updated for the Old Damage Model so that world impacts check to ensure the material is a non-racing surface before reporting an incident.

CARS:

McLaren MP4-30
– Fixed a wrist twist animation issue for some drivers when steering counter-clockwise.
