TECHNICAL RELEASE REFERENCE — G500_03B

CANONICAL FINAL BUILD
GRID_G500_03B_GLOBAL_DRIFT_ALL4_TRACKPOOL_CORRECTED

PUBLIC RELEASE
Race Driver: GRID — Multiplayer Expanded v1.0

PUBLIC RUNTIME PACKAGE
The player-facing archive contains the compiled runtime database and the matching English language file:
- MOD_FILES\database\database.bin
- MOD_FILES\language\language_eng.lng

The canonical development source database.xml is retained only as a source/reference identity and is not required for normal player installation.

PLAYER SAFETY REQUIREMENT
The public instructions require a backup of both original runtime files and the player's Documents\Codemasters\GRID\ profile folder before installation.

FINAL BUILD PRINCIPLE
G500 was reconstructed from pristine original XML/LNG sources. Earlier experimental branches served as behavior references rather than a cumulative binary parent chain.

G500_03B VERSUS G500_02A
Only event_track_pool changed.
Resolver-sensitive EVENT, network_tier_event, event_vehicle, event_driver, name identities and LNG were left untouched.

STRUCTURAL FACTS
- network_tier_event rows: 105
- final event_track_pool rows: 1563
- max active NTE track bank: <=16
- DRIFT GP event59 remains a legacy visible no-NTE event
- final LNG byte-identical to G500_02A

RUNTIME TRUTH OVERRIDES STATIC EXPECTATION
DRIFT GP's physical database bank is broader than the location set exposed by the menu. The public release documents the runtime-visible locations: Okutama, Yokohama and Shibuya.

INTEGRITY
Exact runtime-file SHA-256 values are recorded in BUILD_INFO_G500_03B.json and the package-root SHA256SUMS.txt.
