Based on the original thread format by @Johnnypenso

For each update released, there lies the potential for changes undocumented 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.
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 disgusted 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:

6. Physics Simulation Model
 - A number of vehicle types are now able to utilise an "Overtaking System" to assist with overtaking during a race. You can map the "Overtake" to any button on the controller by going into the [Controllers] settings in the Options menu. Please see the "Overtaking System Information" section below for specific details regarding these new functionalities in-game (as of Update 1.36).

7. Options
 - "Overtake" functionality has been added. This can be mapped to a controller button.

8. Lobby
 - "Overtaking System Usage Time Multiplier" option has been added to the "Settings" menu of the Custom Race.

9. Downloadable Content (DLC)
 - Cars priced from 200,000 Cr. to 10,000,000 Cr. in-game can can now be purchased through the PlayStation™Store.

Overtaking System Information
- Increased Engine Output:
 ・Super Formula Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Honda '19
 ・Super Formula Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Toyota '19

- Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS)
Consumes kinetic energy stored in batteries, etc. to provide power assistance using a motor. Activating “Overtake” will provide the maximum power assistance rate:
 ・Dodge SRT Tomahawk X Vision Gran Turismo
 ・Dodge SRT Tomahawk GTS-R Vision Gran Turismo
 ・Dodge SRT Tomahawk S Vision Gran Turismo
 ・INFINITI CONCEPT Vision Gran Turismo
 ・LEXUS LF-LC GT “Vision Gran Turismo”
 ・NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo
 ・Toyota Toyota FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo

- Drag Reduction System (DRS)
Uses moving wings to reduce air resistance during operation. This was previously performed automatically, but is now a manual function. Additionally, the DRS can only be activated while in an overtaking zone:
 ・McLaren P1 GTR
 ・Mercedes-AMG F1 W08 EQ Power+ 2017
 ・Mercedes-AMG F1 W08 EQ Power+ (Color Variation) 2017

Other Improvements and Adjustments
- Fixed an issue wherein with the transmission set to [Manual], the gear shifts could be performed faster when using a H-pattern shifter in manual-clutch mode than with a paddle shift or Wireless Controller. (The following controller were affected: Thrustmaster TH8A Add-On Shifter, Thrustmaster TH8 RS Shifter, Logitech Driving Force Shifter, Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ);
- Fixed an issue in "Sport" mode wherein forced Time Penalties wouldn’t function correctly in the automated penalty zone;
- When performing a gear change using an H-pattern shifter and clutch, and with the transmission set to [Manual], a grinding sound effect will now be played when the revs are not matching;
- Various other issues have been addressed.

Main Features Implemented (1.37)
1. Physics Simulation Model
 - The behavior of the gear shifts when using a H-pattern shifter in manual-clutch mode has been reverted to how it was before Update 1.36, as the H-pattern shifter controller, the clutch pedal and full manual mode are not allowed in 'Sport' mode.

Other Improvements and Adjustments
- Various other issues have been addressed.
Undocumented Changes

Before anyone posts, I would again like to remind people that Physics changes or bugs belong in the appropriate threads mentioned in the OP, not here. The same goes for complaints of whatever negative effects have arrived with the update.

Now you may post.
 
I don't know if it's new, but... there's three new Ogura Clutch decals (2 shades of blue and one white).

I can also see two new Bully Dog decals, one yellow Dallara, one red Crane Cams, one ENEOS with the logo at the left side and one Exxon decal with white outline.
 
KERS battery level & state “charging/discharging” is added to fuel indicator in F1 cars.

A bug in lobby when you try to chose SF19 cars.

DRS does not show on F1 steering wheel.

Overtake counter does not show anywhere exept HUD
 
You can choose how much time the overtake button lasts on lobbys, there's a multiplier on race settings

Saweeeeeeet

The Overtake Button once assigned also works for Tomahawks low drag mode and any battery boosting systems.

Those are literally listed in the official changelog, which doesn't make then Undocumented changes.

KERS battery level & state “charging/discharging” is added to fuel indicator in F1 cars.

It's 10,000,000 Cr. isn't it?

Yeah it should be upon realizing that. To be fair though, that appears to be abit of an oversight on whoever composed the page that I got all this info from.
 
The whole word is a little bit shorter and the "O" is no longer flat on top.

Wow, that truly is an eye for detail!! I still can't see that the word is shorter but I can see the flattened O is now..... not. What a catch! Great eye!
 
When you set a time in daily (weekly) race qualifying, there is a note that says that the time may take a little while to update on servers.
 
Hybrid cars now have a battery metre

Has Suzuka always had a wall of tyres at the last chicane? If not then that's changed
 
If you paint the Super Formula at the Livery Editor the Advan Sticker at the Tyres disappear.

Yeah, this isn't exactly an undocumented CHANGE is it? At best it's deliberate and at worst it's a bug that will be fixed in time. Last time I checked we don't list bugs! (It's detailed on every single undocumented change thread)
 
ERS on cars that have it work now and is showing up in fuel gage bar, like LaFerrari and some other hybrid cars. Although, Model S and i3 (and 2X) still have no ERS usage.
You means battery meter for electric cars? I think PD forget disable fuel consumption for the 2X for all modes like time trial.
