Overview: After extensive testing and community feedback, the 98T has finally evolved from a "death trap" to a precision racing machine. This update focuses on high-speed stability, aerodynamic efficiency, and a complete overhaul of the suspension geometry to ensure the car stays glued to the track, even at the limit.
What’s New & Fixed:
- Complete Cockpit Overhaul:
- Added Driver: Added a driver model to the cockpit, perfectly positioned for the low-slung, "laying down" 80s driving posture.

- New Interior Detail: Highly detailed cockpit with era-accurate gauges and materials.

- Aerodynamic Overhaul: * Completely redesigned downforce map. The car now generates over 3,000kg of downforce, providing massive grip in high-speed sections like Eau Rouge.
- Fixed high-speed "floatiness." The car no longer feels light at 250km/h+; it now feels planted and predictable.
- Suspension Geometry (The 3.20Hz Revolution): * Retuned spring frequencies to a balanced 3.20Hz, eliminating the "bouncing" effect on uneven surfaces.
- Improved damping to handle high-compression zones without bottoming out or flipping.
- Drivetrain & Power:
- The 918hp V6 Turbo has been refined for better power delivery.
- Optimized gear ratios to reflect historical accuracy—top speed is now realistically capped by drag around 300-310km/h.
- Driving Dynamics:
- Fixed the "Snap Oversteer" that plagued earlier versions.
