A trait of all Formula One cars in Asphalt 8: Airborne is their 10-10-10-10 Pro Kit system, with no Max upgrades.

Gameloft tweaked the mechanics of the Formula One cars, by giving them constant Tuning Kit bonuses; they do not change with upgrades, unlike the Tuning Kit bonuses of normal vehicles.

However, it seems that the Formula One cars, or at least the McLaren M14A, originally had a bug where the Tuning Kit size was extremely small.

Based on some old videos and screenshots from 2016, I have figured out that the original Tuning Kit size for the McLaren M14A was only 6.6 km/h. This would be the smallest Tuning Kit bonus in the entire game, I believe; even smaller than the Dodge Dart GT's bonus.

When added to the 10-0-10-0 tune, with a rank of 1305 and an unboosted speed of 378 km/h, this only results in a total speed of 384.6 km/h.

However, nowadays, the McLaren M14A's Tuning Kit bonus is significantly larger; it has a bonus of 18.2 km/h at any configuration.

When added to 378 km/h, the total speed is now 396.2 km/h, which makes a lot more sense (I have a tough time racing against 1305 M14As in my 1256 BMW M2).

I would just like to know (if you know) WHEN exactly the McLaren M14A's Tuning Kit properties were changed. I cannot seem to find this information on the Wiki.
