I want to see if they managed to alleviate some of the typical AC issues with understeer (even when suddenly lifting mid-corner at the limit of adhesion). Maybe the new suspension will help:
See how they gave it adjustable dampers, to help with an "AC limitation"?
I'm guessing that limitation is AC's poor modeling of how the tires should "bite" under weight transfer. All I know is that, in a real car, if you lift mid-corner, you shouldn't get
more understeer. The typical work-around in AC is to max out the rear damper rebound. If you did that IRL, you'd create a really twitchy, dart-y unstable car. In AC, it (sort of) gets you back to reality.
Hey, this I'd have to disagree with almost completely. There's an issue with how KS load curves produce grip, although that's generally towards *oversteer*, not understeer, and aerodynamic forces simply produce too much grip at high loads. There is however nothing like how you're describing.
Most of the time this "no lift-off oversteer" thing is due to an incorrectly made car. Every correctly made car I've made to now isn't devoid of lift off oversteer, on the contrary all of the ones with any issues have too much. Although that's a more complicated issue.
Almost every RWD car is designed to understeer if you're on the front lateral limit and lift off, and almost all of them will attempt to do that. Roadcars, racecars, whatever. The reason is generally in RWD cars so that you can accelerate efficiently, not being on the limit of the rear tires when you stop trailbraking and start accelerating.
IRL you will get oversteer generally due to scrubbing speed and slowing down, then the fronts will grip up. Or if you're somewhat under the limit of the fronts and give them a bit of a push while unloading the rears: generally you will get oversteer. Some cars just have a natural tendency for oversteer, like the S13 Silvia and R32 GT-R with their quite high rear roll distribution compared to the front and tons of anti-squat.
It's also possible for engine braking torques to overload the rears in a RWD car, so if the front slip is not excessively high and the inside rear tire has enough contact with the ground, it could attempt to lock up and cause a yawing motion. If the inside's in the air, and you either have a very weak or very strong diff and you have a lot of front roll stiffness, I suspect it'd be possible for handling to not actually change so much as you'd expect it to!
It's very likely if you open the suspensions app or something else that shows slip, that you're simply a few degrees over the slip limit of the fronts when you lift off, and it's not sufficient to cause a yawing motion. Or the car you're driving is a bit badly made or doesn't mesh well at all with the KS load curves ie: the Elises.
Don't be fooled, some cars simply won't rotate significantly no matter what unless you really aggressively throw it in. Trailbraking just won't do it, nor will lifting. It'll happen when you have 100mm+ wider rears, way wider rear track, rear engine, lots of front roll stiffness etc. You know, like old racing 911s.
Fun anecdote: Look at the old RSR 911s and compare them to the Turbo which has even wider rear track and more rear tire. The RSRs lift the inside front in corners, while the Turbo has extremely low roll stiffness to try to get all the grip it can, and won't lift the inside tire and rolls like crazy. I suspect neither of them will rotate off throttle like a stock 911 with squared or close to squared road tires would.
