- Tire wear speed prediction has been added to the pit stop decisions in B-Spec, to prevent tires from wearing out completely during long races.

- Regenerative braking (which recovers energy by converting kinetic energy into electricity) in electric cars have been made stronger to extend driving distance.

- Electric cars will now also creep forward (as in standard automatic cars) when the brake is released without pressing the accelerator.

- Regarding the Chaparral 2J race car’s performance points, the increased performance factor due to the downforce produced by the fan is now calculated.

Correction of Known Issues:

- A issue has been corrected where the car would pit in unintentionally during the last lap of a B spec race.
