For every update released, there is the potential for changes not listed in the initial patch notes. Please report any undocumented changes you find in the current update and I'll update the OP as much as possible to reflect those changes found.


1. It is encouraged that you make an effort in verifying these changes as much as possible, either through videos or images.
2. If you need help from the community to verify something, don't be afraid to ask.
3. It is strongly advised that you be as specific and detailed as possible with the information including a brief description of the bug or improvement before it was fixed/changed (if applicable) and how. If English is not your first language that's ok, just do it to the best of your ability.


THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE OFFICIAL CHANGES Only any changes not listed on the official site are discussed here

I don't know if I've just never noticed it or not, but did they add a feature for when you're refueling in an event? There's a little diamond just above where the game (I assume) estimates I need to refill to to make it to the end of the race.

Do correct me if I'm wrong, I only saw it for a split second while doing the new Spa 900 race, and couldn't recall ever seeing it before then.

Yes, though it was added so long ago that I can't even remember when. Or in which title.

Wow I must be very unobservant then haha. Just so used to doing the math in my head that it probably never occurred that I had a guide in my face the whole time.
 
Renault Avantime engine (L7X V6 3.0) allows Turbo & Intercooler tune now, but “old” Renault Clio V6 (L7X V6 3.0) dont. Same engine, same transmission (PK6)… come on Kaz, lets fix it!!
Turbo and intercooler cannot physically fit in the small Clio! It never was an option long before this update...
 
Really it was barely off for less than a second?

I mean especially in the rain if on controller I get a 1 second penalty at Le Mans here or there but this one seemed real harsh.

That section of the track has always been a bit glitchy (especially in the rain!). If I ever get a penalty on La Sarthe it's almost always right around there, and usually without any discernable reason.

Ah ok interesting. That is usually my best corner so I don’t think I’ve gone off there much.

Overall Sarthe seems to me the most harsh with off track penalties. The final chicanes i feel like the game can’t make up its mind as to what’s on and what’s off.
 
I think you were just off the track for too long and that added up.
Nah, there is a dumb multiplier that get triggered when you go out of the track with slick tires on a wet track. You can quickly find yourself with mind-boggling penalties for no good reason, just because you had aquaplaning.
