The engine was upgraded from 333Hz to 400Hz, providing 20% more data points for tire and ground collision detection. This makes curb strikes and high-speed tire oscillations significantly more detailed.

To understand the "deep content" of v1.8.18, one must consider the physics engine it rests upon, which was completely transformed in the 1.8 cycle:
