    Just a minor suggestion, but can the gear shift sound be subdued - in my own opinion it's a bit high pitched.

    Other than that this game is a work of wonders

    It's been a slog, but I've spent a massive amount of time optimising it all for fluid 60hz on apple tv, which means most phones and iPads will be silky smooth too. you can even up the resolution on the iphone 7 too (and enabled antialiasing).

    Trying to finish off another winter track pack!

    The update is likely to drop with you guys on the 8th Decemeber, TBH because of the optimisations I have made, it runs about 2x the speed as before so you can probably crank up the graphics even more too.

    I've also added another Winter Rally with 6 tracks, which is predominantly "hill climbs, and really different style of tracks.

    I'm also thinking about changing the championship progression to allow you to play through all of them even if you don't get a "medal", and leave the medals to unlock the vehicles.

    Out of curiosity how far can the damage on the car go? Is there a point where the car can be so broken that it breaks down?

    Just thinking that one of my favorite games ever was demolition derby, particularly the bowl level where you would smash into each other, it’s against the rally theme so I can understand why you might not want to add something like that (even if it worked!) but might be a fun side game to play

    Love the game, only other driving game i play other than the F1 2016 game (the free to play model for Real Racing does my nut)

    There isn't currently a point where damage becomes critical. I'm going to work on proper damage deformation next update!

    In other news, the update is ready and will be with you 8th December, this comes with 6 more tracks (hill climbs to be precise) and has better graphics and huge optimisations to speed (tvOS now runs at fluid 60fps on all tracks with blur and shadowing on)

    Just a quick heads up that the update is going live tomorrow (more specifically 12GMT tonight). Let me know how you like the new Canadian tracks :)

    Also I've had to reset the rallycross leaderboards, purely because there was a bug which ruined them and my inbox was full of requests to reset it all.

    I'd also be interested to know how well it works with the graphics on max on the iPhone7 :)

    Good to hear about the updates, I've had to put gaming on hold for a bit but I'll be getting back into it now!

    Wow just played a stage on the update. It is insanely good! Smooth as butter and so good to look at, the optimisations have worked! So so good

    No I'm in the middle of getting kids fed and into bed, I played stage 3 Finland in the Focus. I'll definitely hit Canada tonight though

    I've got so many more things on the list that I'm starting to think about drawing a line and simply pushing on with the next one now, as usual though any ideas more than welcome!

    Loving Canada!!! These stages are beautiful, I love how the terrain changes over the length of the stage with more snow cover at the top. The sun glare is fantastic, the trees look so great!

    BM you have outdone yourself! This has to be one of the best looking and handling racing game around (if not THE best). Absolutely brilliant.

    Fantastic update.

    The game had become very stuttery on my Ipad AIR after an update (can't rmember which one),to the point where i had to delete it from my IPad.Also,the times from certain tracks were also carried on to other tracks,particularly on rally cross & the mini game modes.Meaning not only my times were wrong,but also tracks were shown as completed before i'd even played them.

    On first boot my dodgy times seem to have all been removed (a good thing),haven't had time to check all of them.

    The performance increase & zero stuttering have made the game enjoyable for me again.Still
    reluctant to select 'retry' on any track though,incase my times get messed up again.But no biggie.

    Thanks for sorting these issues out.Much appreciated.
