A Clearer, Faster Interface
[p]The entire UI has been redesigned with clarity and speed in mind. Navigation across race weekends, car selection, and championships is now far more intuitive.[/p][p][/p][p]New, too, are contextual tooltips throughout the UI which will prove particularly useful around making your own setups for cars and setting up the Force Feedback (FFB) systems.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition, the car selection screen has been reworked to include more information about each car.

[p]Multiplayer has been worked on with structure and fairness at its core.[/p][p][/p][p]Update 2.0 introduces improved anti-cheat systems, better session flow, and backend support for incident reporting.[/p][p][/p][p]The License Points system has also been refined, encouraging cleaner racing and supporting a more competitive environment.[/p][p][/p][p]Additionally, from 1 April, Ranked Online will feature all car classes in PMR, including DLC.[/p][p][/p]A Career with Direction
[p]With Update 2.0 Career Mode gets a massage. It’s no longer just a loose sequence of events—it’s now more of journey built around growth, survival, and achievement.[/p][p][/p][p]Players build toward a long-term racing legacy and new to the mode comes: real-world sponsors (such as Liqui Moly), improved event messaging and presentation, podium ceremonies, trophies, and a new endpoint to your career.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45601812/a9181c369af8f5d8569487aeabac24c59980364d.jpg"][/img][/p]Refined Driving Physics
[p]At the heart of Update 2.0 is a significant step forward in handling. Working alongside experienced sim racers, dedicated test drivers, and sim racing developers, the focus has been to make the cars communicate more clearly, evolve the tyre model into something that feels and drives far more authentically, and leaning into authentic car characteristics.[/p][p][/p][p]Building and evolving from the tyre model introduced in previous updates for the GT3 and GT4, Update 2.0 extends this to the Porsche 992 Cup, GT, GTE, and N-GT class. N-GT has the most evolved tyre and should serve as the reference point for the future of PMR. Further rollout across additional classes will follow in upcoming patches.[/p][p][/p][p]Also rebuilt, from the differential to suspension and tyres, is the Mazda MX-5 Cup.[/p][p][/p]Deeper Insight: The ECU Widget
[p]Update 2.0 also introduces the ECU Widget — a real-time telemetry system available on your HUD. It visualises all sorts of vitals: tyre load and weight transfer, aerodynamic balance, drivetrain power delivery and a whole lot more.[/p][p][/p][p]Fuel usage and stint strategy is also available via this widget.[/p][p]Please note: the portion of the ECU Widget, engine mapping, is currently only functional in LMDh cars. We will make this function compatible with other cars in a future update.[/p][p][/p][p]Alongside it, the new FFB Widget provides a deeper view into force feedback behaviour, helping you fine-tune your setup with greater precision.[/p][p][/p][p]You can learn how to use both these new tools in this blog: ECU Widget Explained[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45601812/0bfb821ccd3d8f9c725e14ce658aff352dcb0912.jpg"][/img][/p][p]For a deeper insight into Update 2.0 read this blog or watch our Update 2.0 Launch Trailer for an overview[/p][p]
