Season's greetings, drivers, and welcome to the highlights blog for our 0.34 update! This release introduces a highly anticipated new vehicle, expands the selection of vehicle parts, delivers a set of fresh gameplay challenges, as well as numerous fixes and improvements. So follow along while we chaperon you through all the details.

##### NEW VEHICLE: Bruckell Nine

Headlining this season's lineup is the **Bruckell Nine, a highly anticipated pre-war vehicle**. Carefully crafted to reflect the era's iconic design and historical authenticity, it's a perfect fusion of vintage sophistication and practical functionality.

The Bruckell Nine is one of our most versatile and refined vehicles to date. With nine different body styles – two coupe options, a sedan, a roadster, two van variants, two pickup styles, and a driver seat on a bodyless frame, it offers extensive customization possibilities.

The vehicle debuts with a heap of customization options that cater to both period-appropriate and modern applications. These include a hot rod and restomod parts, glass tint, and mechanical components. While factory variants retain the unique characteristic quirks and "janky" handling of a 1930s vehicle, modernized configurations bring smoother handling with advanced suspension and wheel upgrades, ideal for racing enthusiasts or those looking to test speed limits.

With this release we're also expanding the lighting system to simulate the gradual illumination of vintage halogen bulbs. This improvement introduces smooth transitions when turning headlights on and off, rather than toggling them instantly. For now, this feature is exclusive to the Nine, complete with a slight dimming effect during engine startup.

##### New Parts, Tweaks, and Fixes

But the holiday fun doesn't stop there! The **Gavril Grand Marshall is getting a new widebody kit** called the Slider, paired with a distinctive livery not likely to be seen on a big American sedan, it's tuned to take corners in style. The **Drag configuration also benefits from several new aftermarket parts**, sound tuning, and fixes for known issues.

For our law enforcement enthusiasts, we've **upgraded police configurations across the board**! We've expanded options to include police, undercover, emergency beacon lights, light bars, and flashers on vehicles that lacked them. Older police models now include antennas and halogen flashers, and some have gained new interior controls for beacon lights and light bars. The modern light bar now features selectable flash patterns, glass colors and accessories, as well as better optimization.

We didn't stop there - **fixes, tweaks, and updates were applied to a variety of vehicles**, including Burnside Special, Civetta Scintilla, ETK 800-Series, ETK-I Series, Gavril MD-Series, Roamer, and T-Series, the Ibishu BX-Series, and the Soliad Wendover, among others. Dive into the release notes for the full details!

##### West Coast, USA Improvements

On the environment side, several areas on West Coast, USA received another round of polish.

The Belasco Motorsports Park has been updated with a revamped parking lot and surroundings, along with a **brand-new gravel off-road course** adjacent to the track. **Additional off-road sections have been introduced** near the start of the mainland bridge, along with further optimizations on off-road areas throughout the map.

**Bus shelters have been redesigned** to better align with the aesthetics of the maps on Italy, West Coast, East Coast, Utah, and Jungle Rock Island. These shelters also feature updated bus route map textures.
