As rumoured recently, changes to how the sports category handles in off road race tracks have now gone live.
In an effort to level the playing field, sports vehicles like Diablo and Silver will now find it harder in off road races on tracks such as Muddy Madness, Narrow Mountains, Snowy Valley and Vulture Valley. This change is designed to give more of an advantage to true off-road vehicles and penalise the handling of the sports vehicles.
Initial findings suggeat that sports vehicles have received a 40% decrease to handling while off road vehicles receive a 20% increase in off road races.
As part of the changes it also appears that Urban vehicles are no longer penalised in sports races.
As more information is discovered we’ll update this post in due course.
The full list of changes calculated by player and group member Bob Eades is as follows:
