2025 Season 3 Patch 3 Release Notes [2025.06.27.02]
This Patch Release contains updates and fixes for the 2025 Season 3 Release.
SIMULATION:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Licenses & Official Racing
Adjusted the distribution of iRating and ttRating values that define Division separation for all Official Racing and License Classes for improved competition at all levels.
We had tuned the division distribution slightly with the start of 2025 Season 3, and we missed the mark by a bit. This second adjustment should clean things up and improve Ranked participation.
With the deployment of this Patch, all members will be redistributed into Divisions for all licenses classes, just as is done seasonally before Week 1. This redistribution will be completed based on drivers’ iRating, ttRating, and Rookie status as they were a few weeks ago when divisions were first established during the 2025 Season 3 season transition. Drivers are not being redistributed based on their current iRating, ttRating and Rookie status. All previous 2025 Season 3 records, stats, and results will follow their owners into their new Division.
Graphics
Fixed an issue where some damp to wet tracks could have blocky patterns appear at dusk.
CARS:
--------------------------------------------------------------
<Car Class> GT3
GT3 Car Class BoP has been tuned for improved realism.
iRacing setups have been updated.
<Car Class> GTP
Fixed an issue where brake migration was being applied at half of the stated value. The ramping reference location has also been adjusted.
At 100% pedal input, the brake bias is equal to the basic brake bias setting.
At 0% pedal input, the brake bias is equal to the basic brake bias setting plus the brake migration gain.
Please note, to adjust existing setups the recommendation is to halve the current brake migration setting and increase brake bias forwards by 1-1.25%.
iRacing setups have been updated.
<Car Class> NASCAR Gen 4 Series
iRacing setups have been updated.
Acura ARX-06 GTP
Brake Migration adjustment has been added to this car to bring it into line with the other GTP class cars.
Dallara IR18
Fixed an issue where the incorrect car model could appear in UI images related to short oval tracks.
Ferrari 499P
Updated the brake migration tooltips for improved clarity.
Note, brake migration was already working correctly in this car and thus no physics changes have been applied nor is it necessary to adjust setups for this car.
[Legacy] V8 Supercar Ford FG Falcon - 2014
Restored the rear view mirror to its proper place. The vandals responsible for its mislocation have been handed over to the authorities.
