Please note, we will soon begin tackling the imbalance between Racing Skill's natural gain through racing, and the Television Network's 10* Press Pass special. We plan to reduce the Racing Skill gained from the Press Pass by 50%, while increasing Racing Skill's natural gain. These adjustments will occur in two weeks time on June 3rd. If you are planning to spend your Television Network's job points on Press Pass, we recommend you do this sooner rather than later.

This workforce project focus list gives a little insight into what projects we're working on week by week, it doesn't include team managers. These current priorities declared informally by personnel for the week unfolding do not include other smaller projects they may be working on or the usual bug fixes. If an anticipated project is not on the list, it could mean that it's frozen due to other priorities, being worked on as a separate non-priority, or has been completed and awaiting testing / release.
