• Totally new game flow: Introduction of money, XP progression, and content unlock progression.
  
• New introductory training room (work in progress).
  
• Gameplay centered around a new job board app where players accept customer car jobs, sign up for races, or book showrooms.
  
• Customer car repairs bonus players based on assembly quality and speed. Job speed and accurate assembly quality need to be balanced for maximum bonus. Most jobs won't allow players to maximize both speed and accuracy.
  
• Auto fastener no longer perfectly torques bolts. This rewards players who manually torque bolts with wrenches.
  
• Tablet UI redesign
  
• New location: Race track pit area (work in progress)
  
• New location: Showrooms
  
• Racing pit repairs: Bring necessary spares with you to the track, when needed, fix your car during the race and send it back out to finish.
  
• New shop equipment: Engine stand, gantry crane, shop lights, and Castrol ePODS.
  
• Support for multiple lifts in the garage
  
• Cars are now able to be run as incomplete assemblies. Many parts are no longer strictly required and will not be specifically called out as missing. Instead, these parts will generate a symptom when missing from the assembly.
  
• New part inspection system and redesigned logbook functionality. Parts can now be inspected to show true condition. Logbook now auto sorts parts based on age, known condition, and probable time to failure.
  
• Changes to desktop mode grab interaction. Initial part grab is a stationary grab where parts don’t move or come toward you. This allows for better control when manipulating parts on crowded worksurfaces. Press F to recenter the part in your view.
  
• Changes to VR inputs and grab interactions. Better prioritization of what parts can be grabbed. This reduces missed grabs. Addition of new grabbing concepts: Pinch grab is a high precision grab for small parts using the trigger. Place your hand close to an object and use the small grab sphere with the trigger to pick up parts. Palm grab provides a broader grab area for large parts, uses the grip button.
  
• VR inputs have been adjusted to allow vive users better locomotion control. Context menu is now accessed by holding the trigger button. This enters that hand into action mode, signified by the blue finger. Toggle back to grab mode with the grip button.
  
• New parts:
  Trackspeed engineering turbo kit
  Catfish CFR carbon fiber panels
  Nine Lives Racing wing kit
  V8 Roadsters tubular control arms
  Driveshaft and PPF
  Hood extractor ducting
  Soft compound racing slicks
  
• New shop radio. Comes preloaded with multiple stations but can also be configured to play local folders of user music.
  
• Many bug fixes

Build 86 : Hotfix

This update enables physics interactions between all parts.

• Physics, collision, and gravity are now always enable for loose parts and assemblies.
  
• Parts are grabbed with strength limits - assembly mass affects handing. Two-Handed grabbing (VR only) improves handling of heavy parts
  
• After uninstalling, collision against other parts is disabled until the uninstalled part is clear of collisions
  
• Collisions against other parts can be briefly disabled via a context menu option. This can aid
• with part installation or separating embedded parts.
  
• A ghost rendering of a part will appear when collision is disabled.
  
• Implemented physics base impact sounds.
  

• Exhaust Components.
  
• Alternate valve cover
  
• Alternate oil fill caps
  
• Wrinkle coat paint options for both valve covers
  
• Anodized timing gears
  
• Tire Changer
  

• Made tires removable from wheels and added a simple tire changing machine to facilitate installing and removing tires from wheels.
  
• Wheels will now eventually fail from fatigue cycles.
  
• Wheel studs will eventually snap from fatigue cycles.
  

• Tires have been separated from the wheels and will fatigue independently
  
• Seats have been separated from the chassis
  
• Wheels and wheel studs now fail due to fatigue
  
• Improved installation behavior of many parts
  
• Improved collision shapes for many parts
  

• Parts can now be grabbed by both hands simultaneously
  

• Improved character movement against walls
  

• Fixed painting behavior on many parts
  
• Fixed handling of brake fluid recovery bottle.
  
• Fixed bug causing parts to teleport to the hand after uninstalling.
