There’s a required update to download to race this week with iRacing 2021 Season 2 Patch 3 Hotfix 1 released. It follows the previous patch deployment on April 7th.
While that update largely made changes for the new damage model, the big news from the hotfix is probably that Logitech TrueForce support has been temporarily disabled due to a bug which cases a lockup at sim shutdown. There’s also a change to releasing cars from the pitlane in multi-class races when cars can be holding back at the start to leave gaps. Most car changes are pretty minor, although the Super Dirt Late Model now gets an engine restriction setup option.
