[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:

Alright folks, second update of the year. Same as before: Post whatever changes were not covered in the patch notes or in the OP. Please keep some posts to these specific threads:

And now, you may post.

 

[Arixant]

Michelin tires were removed.

 

[tankuroded]

Michelin tires were removed.

Coincides with them suddenly dropping out as a GTWS partner.

EDIT: Checked an old replay and dealers, tire wall still has Michelin branding; false alarm.

 

[watto79]

Michelin tires were removed.

Why did you think this was the case? Michelin tyres are still very much in the game.

 

[outofspace]

Reading the notes i didn't see any physics change but the tires feel different at high speed, before the update at least with racing tires it didn't matter how fast you were going you always felt the same grip, now the rear tires start skidding, anyone else noticed that? I can't be the only one, i know i didn't change anything on my car setup!

Since between January and February updates, it looks like like Used Car value are more realistic. The used car “Hot” value is less than the Brand Central car.
