Project CARS – PC Patch 5.0 – Release notes
Online
* Enforce fixed (default) setups – fixed cases where enabling this would still allow players to use custom setups. Enabled the player's custom controller settings to still be used when using fixed setups.
* Mojave layouts – fixed an issue where, if the host were disqualified, it would force end-of-race for everyone.

Physics & AI
* Improved AI behaviour in pit lanes to further reduce cars hitting the pit walls when driving out of the garages.

* Fixed an issue where some car parts that were dislodged during a collision would not be removed when the track is cleared.
Career
* Fixed an issue where the maximum amount of contract and invitation emails could be exceeded with DLC installed, resulting in the player not being notified of newly unlocked contract offers and invitational events.
Controls
* Fixed a bug on the splash screen where the controller used to press the A Button to start was not selected as the current controller.
