WORKS Motorsport Factory

New Features

- Reorganised Production designs by chassis, chassis type, specific model and general fitment, making compatible parts easier to find and successive designs easier to compare.
- Added a storage warning above cars waiting for automatic post-race stripping. Parts remain fitted until suitable storage is available, then work resumes automatically.
- Unavailable actions now explain why beside the control you clicked, without repeated warning beeps. Rejected actions also keep your dialogs and selections open.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed compatible GT road-car roll cages missing from shop and design menus.
- Fixed compatible conversion chassis missing from Touring and GT shop listings, and corrected chassis commissioning links.
- Fixed sales specifications and production checks selecting parts for the wrong chassis.
- Fixed completed unattended machines continuing to consume power while waiting to be unloaded.
- Fixed missing championship calendars in existing saves, restoring the season already underway without sponsor penalties for rounds before you joined.

- Fixed newly purchased used parts arriving with their usable lifetime already exhausted.

Miscellaneous

- Expanded the marketplace’s base selection from 16 to 20 adverts.
