    9. GT4 Class Advancement
    10. The primary focus of this update is a total overhaul to the GT4 class.
    11.  
    12. Like the previous GT3 class overhaul, this update introduces a reworked tyre model to better reflect how load, temperature, and slip angle interact throughout a corner.
    13.  
    14. The result isn’t more grip but more usable grip.
    15.  
    16. You’ll experience:
    17.  
    18. A clearer build-up of lateral load at the front axle.
    19. A more progressive transition from grip to slip at the rear.
    20. More consistent tyre behaviour across a lap as temperatures stabilise
    21. Please note: Players with custom setups for the GT4 class are strongly advised to review them.
    22.  
    23. Updated community setups are available on the ModHub, and we have also provided default setups to get you on the track with ease.
    24.  
    25. License Points (Ranked Online)
    26. Update 1.7.0.0 introduces PMR’s new License Points System in Ranked Online.
    27.  
    28. This system is designed to encourage clean racing and protect the competitive integrity of our Ranked ecosystem.
    29.  
    30. Learn more about this new feature in the Intro to License Points blog post.
