Update 1.4.7 released!

Fixing some long standing bugs and including a bunch of community requests, Liftoff update 1.4.7 brings some extra shine to the polish.

  • Added: A new random race can now be started with the click of a button from the race finish screen. (Requested by Krazyzock)
  • Added: In the track builder, tracks and races can be reloaded from file to help track builders using external tools. (Requested by Tau Muon)
