Despite my Avatar (Me in a DEI Impala at Richmond...17 laps of riotous fun!) I totally agree. As far as GTS, hoping for rational track limits. Haven't been playing much, unless the event/class really appeals. I'd like fewer One-Make events and maybe add N400-N500 to the daily rotation?
Yes sadly, the more I drive it right now the more I feel bored. Especially the oversteer Characteristic in the 458 seems to be totally neutralized which is a shame. I loved balancing and steering it with gentle throttle inputs, it’s just gone. No idea why PD decided to erase a Cars individuality, i don’t get it
Absolutely agree. Making a unique Car feel like 08/15 is pretty uninspiring. I actually lost a big familiar feeling and in trade off received a boring driving Characteristic. Sad.
Maybe to make the cars more balanced.Yes sadly, the more I drive it right now the more I feel bored.

Idk, i think the Car was balanced well enough with its BoP before, if you mean that with balanced. If you refer to the actual handling, well, I agree that it was twitchier, but in no way uncontrollable,or not well balanced. It had something unique, something that most of the other Gr3 Cars don’t have. It was just something special and it seems they just made a poor clone. Maybe i‘m a bit to sceptical but you know that I only drove the 458 and just imagine you suddenly discover your Wild Mustang was castrated and now acts like a lame sire. I mean where‘s the prancing horse, am I bit to enthusiastic
Me neither, believe it or not
, but no, I refer to its virtual counterpart. Idk if it handled the same like irl, how should I, but it felt right and I was used to it. But anyway, enough ranting. I‘ll continue to stick with it, as I still enjoy it somehow, you know, it’s the same with our wifes. Just because xxx changes, you don’t decide to swap...not?!

I actually do use the car a lot and agree with zzz_pt. It’s definitely easier to drive than before but will still be very difficult for a new or average driver.@PirovacBoy so this is why you asked me for a lap.
I've shared it already. The car continues hard to handle despite the changes. I can't talk about the difference because I never use this car. Only for fun on lobbies from time to time.
Did 20m around Interlagos and the 458 doesn't seem comfortable on the inner, slower section of the track.
No. Sadly I can only disagree but nice to hear that you feel differently. I absolutely can not share that impression.
What you described sounds like what happened to the Beetle Gr3 car. But i find the 458 a bit faster since it's a bit more glued to the ground. Maybe you're expecting it to behave like it did and expecting it to respond to the way you drove it before?Ok Guys a more detailed opinion on the 458 after spending some time in lobby with @Lord Protector. The Car is ruined for me period. I‘m super disappointed at the moment. We took a ride along Interlagos, Suzuka, Maggiore and Alsace, and on each track I was at least almost 2 seconds slower than usually.
The biggest difference I noticed is that there is no balance on the edge anymore. It’s gone.Completly. The Car feels dead.Before the update it was a joy to balance the 458 with the throttle brake and steering inputs. Now it just understeers so bad while trying to maintain on this edge limit. The biggest gripe I have is it’s understeer. It seems like PD completely cut out the need to balance the Car through the Corners. It’s hard to explain but this is not the Ferrari I knew. Not a single bit. It still has some minor Characteristics like before for example it’s outright speed and stability which I don’t notice that there is any improvement done. It is still stable like previously but not because of balancing it through throttle/brake modulation. No, it just has some strange kind of more grip. I noticed it while trailbraking and straight line braking. It’s much much easier and more stable during braking, but on the other side it has lost its ability to put down the power actually while being in this slightly mid corner oversteering phase. Now it just understeers because the Tires now seem to produce more grip which cuts off this mid corner balance and leads to the mentioned understeer. The rotation during cornering is gone.
I don’t remember the last time I was so dissapointed. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to whine or rant, no. I just can’t comprehend why this has been done. If they would have changed its BoP, fine I could have lived with that. But why ffs changing the handling. Yes, it is/was a hard to drive Car but once you got it, it was a blast. At least for me and i‘m by no means any experienced or skilled driver. I just started to play on a Wheel 2 months ago. I was a Joypad Jockey.
I was improving on that Car from day to day a bit more, the Gap to the top Guys was roundabout 1~1.5 sec. and now...starting from scratch again. So frustrating. Sorry Guys I just had to vent a bit. I hope I didn’t annoy you.
And now if you want, bash me and tell me what a wimpy Dude i am, I don’t care

Absolutely I expected a slight change at worse but this is insane. I drive like a Noob
