Hey all,

We have officially implemented all Hot Wheels tracks into the Individual Levels list - These will operate identically in terms of runs to the standard races in the base game.

The other part of this update is to discuss the use of Assists. It's an ongoing topic of discussion currently, and while this may be open to change in the near future and we will update you accordingly, the speedrun boards should be a showcase of a driver's talents, not the AI's - On this basis we have come to the decision that the following assists will be BANNED from use:

STEERING > Auto-Steering: Not only is it much slower than steering manually, but the game is practically playing itself at that stage. That's not the kind of content we come to Speedrun.com for, so we have elected to ban it's use. STEERING > Assisted: To that extent, we want to assure that all runs are the product of the player's skill, so Assisted steering is also being ruled out. BRAKING > Assisted: See above.

To clarify, Steering is now restricted to Normal or Simulation, with Braking being set to ABS On or Off. We will continue to update as the discussions continue and other assists are evaluated.

Happy Running! Sappy
