Go heavy perf drop (~10 fps) after updating project from UE5.5 to 5.7. turns out: it was not the game itself but the stat gpu and stat scenerendering which drain perf WAY more in 5.7 than in 5.5. #unrealengine

looks super nice! small feedback: the tracks look super nice which their warm and round shapes, but the logo is the exact opposite: super sharp corners! maybe it could be an idea to give the logo-text the same beautiful roundness like the tracks?
