F1 24 Patch 1.6 Arrives Tomorrow Improving Handling, Tweaks For Driving Over Curbs and More - Patch Notes

EA Sports F1 24 patch 1.6 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM ET featuring more handling improvements, tweaks to driving over curbs and more. The Medium Traction Control setting has been rebalanced, making cars more unsettled when driving over curbs, particularly sausage curbs, which now have a greater impact on vehicle stability. An issue in Time Trial where times set with an F1 car could appear on F2 Leaderboards under certain circumstances has been fixed. Additionally, a problem where a specific Specialist Goal could prevent a career save from loading correctly has been resolved. Pit crews in Driver Career have undergone training, leading to generally improved pitstop times. Check out the full list of updates in the patch notes below.
