Patch 1.31

Hey Guys,



Patch 1.31 is now live for everyone to enjoy!



Thank you for all the feedback we received on our public beta build. We're pleased that the update provides fixes for a whole host of issues and improves the game experience.



We've made a couple of additions to this build from the public beta, including creating Falko Engelhart, the winner of our livery competition, as a named driver within the game. His winning livery is also now available for you to use.
