CHANGES AND UPDATES

Center of Mass Adjusted for Shifted Hitbox Car Body’s

• In past updates, we adjusted the hitbox position on several Car Bodies for a more accurate visual fit. This hitbox adjustment did not include a change to their center of mass, which we are correcting in v2.46.
  
  • This correction will improve how the Car Bodies listed below feel and behave.
    
  • We have ensured that cars with shifted hitboxes and center of masses do not have any advantages or disadvantages in gameplay, including kickoffs.
  • Formula 1 2021 (Plank hitbox)
    
  • Formula 1 2022 (Plank hitbox)
    
  • Lightning McQueen (Dominus hitbox)
    
  • Ace (Breakout hitbox)
