Spec Division Rivals[]

Compete for the top of the leaderboard in your favorite car from select divisions while utilizing the same Spec Series (BoP) tune from Featured Multiplayer in this new permanent category of Rivals events!
Spec Division Rivals events will be a great place to set lap times in a wide variety of competitively balanced cars, as well as practice for Featured Multiplayer events, and find tunes – even if that particular series isn’t currently active – on a track that is well-suited for each division of cars.
Spec Division Rivals event leaderboards may occasionally be wiped if significant changes are made to the underlying Spec Series (BoP) tune resulting in lap times that are no longer achievable. This should typically only occur in cases where we are further improving the balance between the cars.

Bug Fixes and Improvements[]

Gameplay[]

Updated default track rubbering-in behavior in both Career and Featured Multiplayer:
- Practice will now always start at 20% rubbered in (previously 33%)
- Races will now always start at 75% rubbered in (previously 66%)
Updated default track rubbering-in behavior in Featured Rivals events to align with behavior in Open Class Time Attack Rivals events:
- Track rubbering will remain at 100% along the driveline from the start of ALL Rivals event (existing functionality)
- To ensure fairness, rubber will no longer build up outside of the driveline over time, regardless of how much the player has driven around the track in ALL Rivals events

- 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE R Coupé
