Is it just me or have some/all cars dropped a performance point?? Not a big deal really but something i just noticed.Apologies if already mentioned.
Have those points dropped in a way so that they make more sense ?
Still there's a long way to go to fix this whole flawed system...

Might this marginal drop in PP be tied to the new aero settings?

1) I noticed that when using the chase camera, the car sound comes from back speakers too. Probably depends on the car. Race cars sounded louder, but I'll check this more later.
Before the update the chase cam sound was coming from the center speaker.
(5.1, Living Room)
2) "Select All" function in the garage works differently now.
Now you have to "load" the list by scrolling it all the way to the bottom. Only then the "Select All" will select all the cars. Otherwise it will only select those cars that are visible on the screen.
3) In my opinion cars do sound more lively now.
4) The physics changed slightly.

Not sure what to think about the Grid ordering thing. I have not played now in quite a while but when I first got the game I played a lot in private lobbies and there was always an option for that from day one.
I always set it up so the player that finished last would get the pole on the next race as that made it more fun than having the fastest guy start on the pole but both were available to select from day 1.

I have not been able to check for new options yet, but the "Fastest First" setting has never meant that the winner of the last race gets pole in the next. It always goes by the order in free run, determined by lap times or, for those who haven't set one, position on track.
They may have added a new option, but the fastest first option is not it.

I'm finally glad that the concrete part on Deep Forest Raceway is considered 'off track', because it is. I have no idea who thought that the concrete is part of the track.

It was yellow for the host himself. Is it yellow for everyone now?

Two things that remain incorrect is the '69 Camaro Z/28 description and the badge on the '70 Challenger R/T. On the Camaro, the hood has the 302ci. badge which is correct while the description reads '320ci.' Just a typo but still. Don't want PD giving out false information. As for the Challenger, the 426 Hemi badge is only on the drivers side of the hood. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the '70 Challenger R/T 426 Hemis I've seen have the badge on both sides.

I can confirm this. Just checked last-night while running a practice room.
We have 4 options for grid order now. Where there used to be only 3.
* Fastest First
* Slowest First
* Reverse Grid Based on Previous Race Result
They've added a 4th for:
* Fastest First Based on Previous Race Result
---
So now you can play "king of the hill" shuffles where if you keep winning you keep starting at the front.

Yeah, would need some testing. I have a feeling that collision on/off clears the timing and scoring. But it *may* still be ok with "previous race result".
Also I think that the collision on/off is pretty much a global draft on/off switch. It seems to have effect on free-run as well as race conditions.
IF that's true people can stop complaining about draft in free-run being on now... since you can turn it off with the global collision switch.

I'm playing right now and just noticed... yeah, there's something different with the sounds. The tire sounds are more noticeable and more natural somehow. Cars sound a little bit better... can't explain why but it does. They are the same old sounds but it feel better distributed.

I like tire sounds are louder actually. I would constantly hear them no matter what I drove except the Viper ACR. Is it me or has car 'rarity' in the UCD been adjusted? I've seen 2 Mercedes CLK-LMs, a TS020, and plenty of others that don't show up often since 2.08.

I said before me and a group of drifters noticed that too. And i tried a few adjustment on tuning my 5.1 surround sound (needed to do a adjustment to each speakers decibels anyway) and noticed I could hear each tire using the hood view. I could hear when they lose traction. And honestly the tire sounds themselves are amazing now. Thanks PD.

I think, aside from the tyres, the exhaust sound is louder against the "engine" sound (which is almost always a whizzy mess); the biggest difference will therefore be in the interior, where the "engine" sounds dominate - i.e. the exhaust is more prominent inside the car now.

One thing I noticed was the Kyoto photo location with the 4 cars in the backround. I have seen photos of players cars in that select area parked with the backround cars. I don't know if it's a bug or glitch but the game will not let me place my car there. Does anyone know how?

I think it's a photo travel glitch that they also use for interior view, I did that once too, the car can be position inside the parking lot or going through the cars/objects.
