Studio 397 yesterday evening released a new BOP update and physics tweak to the 13 GT3 cars available within the simulation.
As well as the usual BOP updates, the new builds also contain changes developed in order to resolve an issue where cars would lose excessive grip when following closely within the slipstream of another driver, and also changes have been made to reduce the ability for a driver to excessively slide the car in order to gain additional laptime advantage.
GT3 BOP Update Notes:
Aston Martin Vantage GT3 v1.87
Callaway C7 GT3-R v3.01

- BOP performance updates applied.
- Tweaks to sliding behaviour.
- Updates to aero draft issues
