Version 4.80 beta
-Upg: Improved initial Insim OOS handling
-Fix: Fixed glitch that allowed GTR cars to be taken off race area
-Chg: Major changes to car classifications:

UFR, XFR, FXR, XRR, FZR, MRT:
1. Count as ROAD car when equipped with road tyres.
2. Count as RACE car when quipped with slick tyres.

FBM, FOX, F08, BF1:
1. Always count as RACE car, regardless of tyre choice.

(All other cars remain unchanged (road cars) unless
slick tyres become available some day, in which case they would be
treated as race cars when equipped with those.)

ROAD cars can be driven in all cruise areas and also on
the race track if you own a race license.

RACE cars may be driven on the race track only. If Insim detects you're
in a RACE car, a yellow [RACE] symbol will be shown at the car display
at the top.



Note: FXR, XRR, FZR require you to activate the RX configuration to access road tyres (and also a greater steering angle!) as shown below:
