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
THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF THE UPDATE or anything else other than undocumented changes in the update. Keep those strictly to the appropriate threads:

I am sorry, but has the 787B always had a prominent BOV sound? I had driven this car a lot, and hadn't noticed it. Sounds like they've reused the Hyundai TCR BOV audio, though, so this could be old.
 
The 296 GT3 now sounds the same as the 499P.
doesn't sound any different to me at least, although it'd make sense that they do since I believe they share practically the same engine
 
ah then I stand corrected! not driven the 296 as of late so didn't notice
 
As I've done an extensive amount of laps in that car, I actually am intrigued by this. I have a whole video I recorded with the old sound and still have that replay so I can load it up and hear it side-by-side.

The hybrid deployment for Toyota GR010 seems to have changed.
Yesterday I ran out of battery on lap 9 and today I was left with 57%.
I don't think I drove it much different so they've probably changed something with how it gets deployed.

How the heck are you so consistent with lap times. Mighty impressive!

It would be fantastic if they modified the Hybrid powertrains so that some of these hypercars and EVs were more useful, so I hope you are right.

I'm just making mistakes on a different corner each lap 😅

Main thing for me is just memorising brake markers, some people use markers for turning and accelerating also but that's too much for me.
Learning which markers to use is just a case of trial and error
The other thing is not pushing 100% flat out, maybe more like 95% (unless it is an all out sprint of course), just so you have more margin for error. Granted the best drivers are able to be consistent whilst also pushing that hard
