Galmer G92

The Galmer chassis only entered competition with three drivers behind the wheel, yet won with two of them. The highlight was a win in the 1992 Indianapolis 500 with Al Unser Jr.

With Chevrolet power again for 1993 the chassis only entered a few races and proved uncompetitive. The only chassis that year not to score a single point.

First seen in sim racing with ICR (1993).

Fixes/Optimisations/Changes

Major
Economy update, ToFu will now be much easier to earn and you will earn more per ToFu stage
Streamlined garage main menu
You can now purchase a duplicate part in the tuning menu by pressing “buy again” viewable in the bottom left button guide
Chase run replay collisions vastly improved
ABS (Anti-lock braking system) is now part of the tune menu and will change automatically based on changing the tune defaults
Parts menu is now within the main secondary menu in the garage instead of within “Inventory”
Improved part node cameras and positions for a smoother car customising experience

Chase game mode score changes
The Chase Game Mode scoring system has been overhauled to emphasize precision and realistic tandem drifting. Score multipliers based on drift states have been removed, and points are now awarded primarily for maintaining close proximity to the lead car. The threshold for achieving a “Tandem” drift has been tightened, requiring players to closely match the lead vehicle’s angle and direction. These changes raise the skill ceiling, encouraging tighter, more controlled chases and discouraging unrealistic drifting techniques.

Minor
Inventory menu now includes manufacturer filter
The button guide now has new UI artwork
Fixed Nissan 180sx Sileighty hood clipping
Fixed up taillights on some cars so they appear less grainy
Removed colored dots from tires
Added milliseconds to timed event results

Pause menu time dilation has been removed
Air con units on LZ Compound are now destructible
Tents in Irwindale can now be knocked over
Fixed an issue where the R34 Ztune was missing side skirt
Fixed an issue where controller throttle had an excessive deadzone
Suspected fix for rare issue where vehicle suspension becomes broken in multiplayer lobbies
Fixed a bug where your input sometimes doesn’t work in a multiplayer lobby
Adjusted some camera angles in main garage menu
Fixed various misplaced assets across different tracks
