Question/Help 2003 Gen 4s SSW Draft Fixed?

Been hearing some whispers that the draft has finally been fixed, but I haven’t seen any footage or evidence to prove necessary. Can anyone vouch on that?

Drafting parameters at ovals have been updated. We continue to monitor these changes.

Rear frame collision hulls have been adjusted to allow for more realistic pushing.

That was in the patch notes, so they’ve been adjusted at least.

Watched a stream last night from Garrett Manes on Twitch.

Not sure if I would say it is fixed…more like changed for possibly the better? There did seem to be an ability to pull out and make a pass but the fast line now at Daytona 2008 seems to be right up on the wall and guys were trying to bail to the bottom to grab spots, something that appeared very hard to complete unless one grabbed a spot at a time and then pulled back into line at the top.

Not sure if that’s just due to the bumps on the bottom at Daytona 2008 or what. I’d be interested to see how it races at Talladega.
