New Features:
• Introduced a slow-down feature that activates when you stray too far off-road.
• Added extra safety tire walls to all short rally stages across all maps to prevent corner-cutting. The remaining tracks will be updated in future patches.

v0.5.2.1 -> v0.5.3.0

Today’s update is only available on Steam. In the coming week, this update and its fixes will be finalized and released on other stores.

The latest #DRIVE Rally update (v0.5.3.0) is live! Responding to community feedback on pacenotes, we’re enhancing the Co-Pilot reaction system across all four locations. Drivers now have the choice between two pacenote modes – Emotional, Standard and option to turn them off completely. Emotional mode resembles the current setup, with added Co-Pilot comments and reactions based on your driving. Standard mode is a simpler option, providing only the essential pacenotes without any additional shouting or roasting.

Feel free to test this feature and share your feedback here or on our Steam Forum.

New Features:
• New Gameplay Option: Co-Pilot pacenotes - EMOTIONAL, STANDARD and OFF

Fixes:
• Updated pacenotes across all four locations. (Holzberg, Dry Crumbs, Revontuli, Vinh Vang)
