Custom Mode Customize a single race or select from 2 up to 20 tracks to be played in succession as a Cup. You may individually modify the number of laps from 1 to 255 for each track.
Play by yourself or with bots and or other players that either join your public lobby or get invited to your private race.
Custom mode has no effect on stats or sponsors. You need to play quick race or cup to earn money and experience.
New AI opponents Added four new AI opponents all using Volare GT
- Curse Motorsport

AI adjustments
Tweaked AI so they are a bit more aggressive.
Cars now slow down when blocked from entering pit. This should reduce the chance of a pitting car pushing a non-pitting car into the pit area.
Made AI participants use upgrades that fit together (for example acceleration transmission when using high downforce parts).
AI participants upgrade and skill budget now scale with average score of the players in the race.
Performance improvements
Improved physics performance, especially when cars are in the pit area.
Reduced performance impact of rain effect.
Track Changes
Arctic Hazard Raceway now has a black background inside the mountain so it looks less jarring when the camera is inside it.
Demo Changes
You now have 3 extra races to spend at the beginning allowing for 5 races in quick succession before needing to wait before doing another race. You still only have 2 races that recharges.
Bug fixes
Outline is fixed in first person view.
Medal slide animation at end of race now animates in order.
Cars no longer act silly at the start the race after a qualify lap.
Nameplates are no longer left hanging at the beginning of qualify lap.

Patch Notes 9 Jul 2016
Fixed a matchmaking issue that prevented people from connecting with each other.
Implemented tutorial reset when user resets their profile.
Fixed sponsor tutorial referencing APR instead of Arctic Hazard.
Implemented sponsor spot checking on the server for more accurately detecting the "Place Sponsors" step.
Fixed an issue where a user could get stuck in tutorial limbo if they terminated a contract before placing their sponsor on the car.
I haven’t had much time to work on the game lately so I am awfully sorry about taking so long to fix the matchmaking problem.
I Hope the demo players who decided not to purchase the game because it felt empty will give it another try now as multiplayer should be working.
I am awfully sorry about this and hope your experience of the game gets better from now on.
