The current list is incomplete
== v1.1.8 Sub-update ==
Game changes:
* Daily Car Trials and Champions Clash now have a timer showing when the next set of races will be available.
* The price glitch for the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has been fixed.
* The Upgrade tabs now show how many upgrade aspects have components ready to be purchased.
== Bugs / Glitches ==
* Extremely cheap Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat: The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is purchasable just for $32,000, the same price as the starter Class D cars. This is presumably an oversight as the Vanquish and Vantage GT12 cost 10 times as much to buy. This was fixed in the v1.1.8 sub-update.
* Incorrect post-race results:
** The post-race results may show the car that the player last used instead of the current one. This is only a visual glitch and does not affect the race itself.
*** The same can happen with the opponent.
** The game may say that the player lost even if they clearly won the race. This is also a visual glitch and does not affect the race results. In Champions Clash, the player will receive the correct amount of points.
*** On rare occasions, if the player's connection is unstable, the post-race results will take longer to show up and will say that the player lost. In Champions Clash, the player's points will be deducted
** All variations of this bug have been present since the soft launch versions of the game.
== Trivia ==
* Despite the update making the interior of most cars more clearly visible, no driver avatar is shown in the driver's seat when racing.
