An update to Roadclub is available (v 0.86b).
Changes include:
Enhancements

- opponents now make roadclub highscore times as well as the player
- ghostcar can now be disabled
- balanced challenge bets
- car engine now starts automatically when it has died in simulation mode too
- you can now increase garagespace to infinity (but you have to pay for it)
- some leagues no longer disappear once they're beaten. it was a bad "feature".
- lowered amount of messages sent to player
- the track records screen now shows up after every race instead of forcing the player to press "view highscores" to see what happened

Usability
- transmissions and rearend ratio is now explained better

- it's now more clear when and if its possible to make records on tracks
- tutorial text was cleaned up a bit
Fixes
- ghostcar and timereport removed from tutorial and testdrive

- fixed opponents not getting new cars when they've lost them in challenges
- fixed "The challenge could not be found" bug
- fixed handbrake having barely any effect
- fixed record messages being shown in tutorial and test
- fixed deltatiming to give a smoother framerate
