This is just a place to share some tidbits or advice that you feel people might not know about.
Here are my tidbits:
Torque Vectoring and E-Diffs are in the game. Cars that come stock with these features will have these features on them, however upgrading the diff will get rid of these features. There is no indication that a car does or does not have these features. You have to drive them without an upgraded diff to figure it out. Some cars (like the Lotus Evija) even have a mechanical LSD that is adjustable to go along with their torque vectoring system. An upgraded diff will connect tires together even if that is, in theory, impossible (like in a multiple engine electric or hybrid).
All wheel steering is also in the game. Cars that have an all wheel steer system in real life will have the same system in game. Upgrading the suspension will delete the all wheel steering on a car.
Cars will have the correct number of gears as their real life counterpart. Upgrading the transmission or swapping the drivetrain will change the number of gears. The street and sport transmissions will be 5 speeds unless the stock transmission has more than 5 speeds, then they will have the same number as stock. A drivetrain swap automatically includes a race transmission, which cannot be less than 6 speeds. There is no way to downgrade back to a 5 or lower speed.
Please feel free to add your own tidbits or ask questions of me or other tidbit contributors.
Edit: I forgot to mention that a drivetrain swap will also automatically come with a diff upgrade and will delete any torque vectoring or e-diff system as well.
Slicks are actually worse than semi-slicks until they get heat into them. That’s why, when building, you’ll see acceleration numbers go down compared to semi-slicks, since those numbers are calculated using a cold start. All other factors being equal, a car with semi-slicks will beat a car in slicks on launch.

You can make paint designs for cars you don’t own yet.
Go to Paint & Designs > Choose car > All cars
Keep in mind that you can only paint stock cars, you can’t choose bodykits or wheels

Having trouble finding a barn find? Need help?
Here comes Link. All you need to do is Pin the area where the barn is supposed to be.
And link will automatically load a chat line basically saying: Have you seen a barn find nearby? Click on that so you can let other players know you’re having trouble looking for it.
And if anyone is nearby that player can pin the location. And Link will load up a chat line saying something like: Follow me or whatever i dont remember exactly the line… And the other player can help you find it basically.
You can see the rear wheels moving. I hadn’t noticed before! (Also tested with the Porsche 911 GT3 '16.)
