EVO BALANCING 

Thanks to all of your extensive feedback, we'll be reining in a few of our EVO car stat boosts, as they seem to be punching higher than intended: 

• Ferrari SF90 Stradale EVO: We're going to be reducing the boost provided by drivetrain pieces, particularly the overload version, as the acceleration boost provided was larger than intended. We'll also be toning down the air acceleration special pack. The combination of these were making the Stradale far too dominant in short tracks so we toned down the boost and will continue to see how the car performs. 
• Ferrari Enzo Ferrari EVO: The Enzo has gone under a bit of a rework, as we've made adjustments to both pieces as well as the archetypes themselves. We've balanced the performance amongst archetypes, as some were clearly outperforming, and also reducing the rank boost provided by EVO bonuses in the process. 

We hope these changes will balance the playing field a bit, as although we want the EVO changes to also evolve how the car can be driven, they were far too dominant on specific game modes.
