Juni 2026 das Content-Update #08 f�r die Early-Access-Version ver�ffentlicht. Die Aktualisierung beschert den Spielern als Neuerung eine Minimap, welche dabei hilft die Orientierung auf den Strecken zu behalten. Au�erdem ist die erste Version des Spielfortschrittsystems enthalten.

Fahrzeugtuning und -modifikationen sind nun noch einfacher m�glich. Daf�r wurde ein Schnelltuningmodus f�r Tuningteile der einfach per Slider bedienbar ist eingef�hrt und das CRAP-IT-Tool grunds�tzlich verbessert und dessen Nutzungsm�glichkeiten erweitert und die Auswahl um viele neue Aufkleber, Textm�glichkeiten und Nummern hinzugef�gt.

Au�erdem haben die Entwickler f�r das "Sommer-Update" an der grunds�tzlichen Spielbarkeit gefeilt, Fehlerkorrekturen und Optimierungen vorgenommen und an der Programmstabilit�t gearbeitet.
