Thank you for the immediate feedback and issue reports following the launch of Endurance Classics Part 1. Your first-hand experience that you have shared with us in the survey and across our social media channels has allowed our engineering team to quickly isolate several friction points. Today we deployed version 1.2.5 to address some of the immediate issues.
The development team is already hard at work on an additional patch to tackle more of the issues that you have shared with us. That patch will deploy as soon as it is done.
Here are the full patch notes for our first hotfix for Endurance Classics Part 1:
AI
- Resolved a rare issue where AI cars could become invisible but still be involved in collisions, eliminating phantom obstacles on the track.
Online Contests
- Stability Improvement: Addressed the excessively long loading times on the Nordschleife circuit that caused players to disconnect before entering the track.
- Custom Contest Access: Elite drivers can now join custom contests: users with a Rennsport Rating over 5000 can now participate.
- Crash Fix: Eliminated a crash that occasionally occurred while loading into a custom contest.
Championship
- Auto-Skip: Races will now automatically be skipped if you receive a black flag in qualification for driving the wrong direction.
- Simulation Fix: Ensured that skipping practice or qualifying properly calculates and simulates AI lap times.
- The size of championship logos has been increased on the reward screen for improved visibility.
- Corrected an issue where the rank progress bar displayed the wrong information for the next tier.
- Resolved a problem where images for various championship playlists sometimes failed to load.
Quick Session

UI (User Interface)
- Minimap Accuracy: The finish line position has been corrected on the minimaps for both Goodwood and Nürburgring GP.

Tracks
- Hockenheimring GP: Missing white lines have been added at Turn 2 and the hairpin.
