A new update for Cities Skylines Race Day, version 1.21.1-f8, has been released with a focus on stability and event-related improvements. The patch addresses a variety of issues tied to Race Day mechanics, including spectator behavior, race logic, and environmental inconsistencies.

In addition to gameplay fixes, the update refines visuals, animations, and interface elements, while also improving compatibility with mods on Steam. It is a relatively small update overall, but one that smooths out several rough edges introduced with the expansion.
