| FB2 Test 8: Added pitstops and revamped the tire temperature physics | 2026-08-26 | What's New in Test 8Pit Stops & Tire Compounds: Added dynamic pit stops with selectable tire strategies. Choose between Soft, Medium, Hard, and Wet compounds.Revamped Tire Temperature Physics: Tire temperature now dynamically impacts both wear rate and grip levels:Cold: +15% wear rate, -15% grip.Optimal: Maximum tire longevity and baseline grip.Sweet Spot (Performance Window): +10% grip boost with a -10% trade-off in tire life.Overheated: -18% grip penalty and +300% accelerated wear.Handling & Braking Balance: Refined turning sensitivity and braking power based on player feedback to reduce over-steer and overly aggressive deceleration.Test 7 |
| FB2 Test 7: Added Dynamic Moving Cloud Rain System | 2026-07-25 | Here’s what’s new:Dynamic Moving Cloud Rain System:Unlike traditional games with uniform full-track rain, 3D clouds physically travel across the circuit in real-time to drop localized sector weather. Creating oily, low-grip racing lines that force drivers to dynamically adjust their cornering linesTweaked the Driving Physics:While the previous physics system was quite well received with a score of 7.4. I’m trying a new variation with a new physics model that is easy to get started with but hard to master. A lot of you mentioned that the sudden loss of speed when sliding was quite discouraging, this has been improved in the new update as well. |
| Formula Bwoah 2: Early Access Test 6 is out! | 2026-07-13 | Whats new!Dynamic Weather System: Added 2 new weathers, Sunny and Cloudy.Sunny: The track is a lot gripper when the weather Sunny. This results in late braking points and the ability to take sharper turnsCloudy: You will have to brake earlier when the temperature drops. Naturally, the car won’t feel glued to the track anymore so you’ll have to adjust your driving style so that the car doesn’t skidTweaked the Driving PhysicsThe way the car turned earlier did not feel like it was on rails which usually is a characteristic of these kind of cars. The new driving physics tries to achieve that feeling.Support for Proton for Linux devicesThe game no |
