App AI-based Virtual Race Engineer incl. automated Pitstop Handling

Release 7.0.1

The Release of this week is focused on the Driving Coach:

- Several bugs has been fixed.
- Available reference laps from the community can now be loaded automatically and must not be assigned manually by name.
- A lot of new analytical data for the corner performance if provided to the LLM, thereby enabling high end models like GPT 5.5 to come up with even more useful instructions.

Here is a short example with a coaching session using GPT 5.5 (coaching starts around minute 4:00):

Release 7.1.2

This one is all about running large language models locally on your machine. The local LLM Runtime, which can be installed from a DLC, has been rewritten and now supports tool/function calling, which is required to run custom actions by the Assistants. Performance has been improved as well.

Beside that a new function allows you to modify the text returned by an LLM, for example, to remove unwanted test decorations generated by smaller LLMs, which will increase immersion.
