Renault Clio Cup: Fuel consumption; heat & wear model; dry weather AI tuning

Ruf CTR3 SMS-R: Initial pass at physics. Stock engine, improved aero, 6-speed sequential, GT3 slick tires, 250kg weight savings, and re-tuned suspension. Works quite well and is on pace with the Zonda R

Check-in also includes...

All of my tires: Attempt at reducing edge riding after hitting a curb

Clio Cup tire: Tweaked carcass

BAC Mono: Tire tweaking

Caper Monterey: Super quick update of the tires to Flexi carcass. Using mostly my baseline cross-ply tire from the Trans-Am Mustang.

Physics Tweaker: tuned aero, engine, detached wheel, and tire puncture crash damage effects. Been sitting on this for too long. Time to get WMD feedback on the effects.

Caper Monterey: Touched up engine braking curve; Finished heat & wear model; Added a rain tire; Fixed some bugs in the aero model and made the front end adjustable, air dam depth and fender flare sorta kinda; Changed a lot of setup ranges to allow more flexibility, defaults are all pretty close to before; Gearbox tolerances and damage; Safer bumpstops (you'll appreciate this on the Ovals); Asymmetric brake fade tech (yes, we hadn't touched this car in a long while); Subtle differences between road course and oval versions; Added all latest heating tech to the tires and increased grip a little bit.

McLaren F1: Setup and tire tweaks

FA: R7 tires, some physics tweaks.

FB: R7 tires, incorporating Nic's R6 feedback as well as some of the FA advancements

125cc Shifter kart & 250cc Superkart: First pass at AI tire and setup tuning

LMP1 & LMP2 cars: Default setup adjustments for gamepad play. Dialed in ABS strength, automatic gearbox shift points, etc. Also made some final tweaks to the aero models of all cars. Very similar performance within each class, but each with its own slightly different character. Quite happy with all seven of these cars.

Aston Martin Vantage GT3: Completed aero model, default setup tuning

GT3 tires: Added longitudinal tread compliance and bite. Helps trail braking.
