[RACECAR]

Based on the original thread format by @Johnnypenso


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:

Been a while but you folks should know the drill by now: Post changes not officially covered in the patch notes. Any glitches, engine swaps and physics changes go in these dedicated threads:

And now you may post.

Any new colors for Car Paint in GT Auto?

 

[Nakano219]

Very small one - in addition to the new 2024 GT-R, the GT-R Safety Car is now eligible for Nissan GT-R Cup events.

 

[MidnightRun85]

Very small one - in addition to the new 2024 GT-R, the GT-R Safety Car is now eligible for Nissan GT-R Cup events.

Wasn't that previously the case? I'm sure I used my GT-R Safety Car for one of these events a while back...

One thing that hasn't changed, apparently, is the BoP settings for Gr.3 and Gr.4 cars, at least according to GT-Engine. Hat tip to @RobertHammer for digging that up.

Apologies if this doesn't belong here. I thought it was relevant since BoP changes, when we get them, are usually undocumented.

super formula and formula FFB still inexisting. Maybe in superformula a little bit better (i'm not sure) but still very light.
