Various issues have been resolved with iRacing 2021 Season 2 Patch 6 Hotfix 1 released roughly a week after the last bigger update was deployed. If you’ve got a busy week of sim racing planned, the good news is that it’s a relatively small patch, and only one car receives any changes.
The ARCA Menards Chevrolet Impala gets increased spring damper hyper extention limits. Which should help prevent the car from hopping if it ends up with a specific type of damage, enabling you to hopefully make it back to the pits. Other than that change, most of the updates in the patch are for the iRacing UI, including how you can view and sort races series, editing Leagues, and allowing you to order your replays by car name. Which is useful for content creators who need an image of a specific car to illustrate a change.
