Game Changes

Events:

• Improved opponent match making in non-Tracks & Laps races.

• Tracks & Laps Daily Test Drive is no longer too difficult. It is Easy to Medium difficulty, as shown in game.

• Head-to-Head Event reward animations will now be displayed one after the other if multiple Events end at the same time.

• No Fuel Cost Events - Only available when offered for some event types. Instead of using Fuel and Tickets to race, you will only use tickets in these events.

• From Week 2 of the Club Season, Event start and end times will be modified in our three time-zones, to better serve the majority of our players' in each server region.

Season 9 Events:

• Tracks & Laps Cars give Bonus Club Points

Bug Fixes:

• The DeLorean wheels have had their lug nuts tightened and don’t look loose at speed.

• You can now sign up or tap 'race' in an Event without having an eligible car selected in your car hub, and the game won't throw an error.

• Event pins on the game map won't become unresponsive when an event’s force focus fails. This resolves the issue reported by players unable to race in Italy.

Car Changes:

• Re-balanced T&L cars will now be in line with their tier's expected performance.

Here’s a message from our Designer Elia, to explain more about the update to the car PP values and why we came to make the changes.

Good Day all,

I'm Elia, Gameplay Designer on Rebel Racing. I manage the cars, physics and general performance balancing, and I wanted to take a moment to give you an update on the Tracks & Laps cars and the changes we have made.

We carried out a large investigation, involving the majority of the Rebel Racing team, to look into the issues players reported with cars on the Rebel Raceway. From this investigation, we found that the difficulties players were experiencing stemmed from a discrepancy between car values in our Car Database, and the length of Tracks & Laps races.

To explain how car performance varied so much, here’s some insight into the workings of cars in Rebel Racing. Every car in the game has a drag, friction and torque stat/value applied. These values change as the car is fused and the star rating increases. This is why, when racing on the Rebel Raceway, a 3* vehicle with full upgrades and augments could outperform a 6* vehicle that wasn’t upgraded.

We don’t see this issue in on-road races because the tracks are shorter and max speed isn’t reached as often or for as long. The multiple laps and length of tracks on the Rebel Raceway highlighted a new issue we never anticipated. Unfortunately, we didn’t find the issue before Tracks & Laps launched.

The solution has been a complete rebalance of all Tracks & Laps cars. We’ve adjusted the drag, friction and torque values across all tiers. With the friction and torque values being rebalanced in order to show a clearer difference in performance between tiers.

You will still see occurrences of a fully upgraded car outperforming a base car in the Tier above with no upgrades at all, but performance of cars will now be more consistent.

We would like to remind players that PP for cars on-road should not be compared with Tracks & Laps cars. The PP is determined by the tracks the cars can race on, so we balance the Tracks & Laps cars at the Rebel Raceway only. PP are also an average performance score, so cars may be stronger on some tracks than others.

We hope these changes will help you to continue enjoying the Rebel Raceway!

Elia
