So have to be careful how I phrase this...

Just gone back and done some more Gr3 laps in the Lambo and the McLaren and I personally am warming to the braking change, it's has less fidelity in the control but the trade off is the initial bite is harder and the ABS is doing a lot more as you trail in giving the same feel as trail braking does but with a bit more agility.

Now the careful bit....

My driving style tends to fractionally over turn the car in to use the small understeer slip to alter the exit angle a fraction, previously this resulted in a slight vibration...

The new physics have this overly aggressive weighting that shakes my shaft to the point it's so audible it sounds and feels like all the bolts are coming out. It is rather unpleasant which historically shaft shaking hasn't been....

You can drive round this my not inducing understeer or locking the brakes with steering angle/load on and it's smoother but not ultimately faster.

Got within .2 of my best time in the 650 and feel I can beat it but that is very much more down to my ability and not getting close to the cars capability rather than physics or BoP changes.

Yeah this is what I was on about in the Physics thread. There's just so much loud and aggressive rumbling now, it's rubbish.

I swear they confuse feedback feel with feedback noise (over active feedback not actual sounds)

It's pretty awful and making me less and less want to lean on the chassis or the tires just to avoid unnecessary wheel judders and vibrations. This is compounded by the fact high downforce cars still have no weighting to the wheel, heavy Gr3 they seem insistant that they don't have power steering and that every movement should be felt and not just heard! I'll hear my understeer thank you I don't need exaggerated wheel inputs for it.

I’m happy to hear the Alfa is in the hunt, that was a nice drive recently at grand valley, maybe new and different metas to come, hopefully it brings us more of the gr4 cars to use iso just the lambo and g70

The NSX was competitive at Myiabi but it was a bit of a slog TT wise to get it there.

The Evo also was good at and I can't remember well enough but I think the short RBR.

But otherwise nothing really competitive with the AWD and I think that's why they sort of realised and trolled us with the curated GR4 class. They know, we know, so let's not pretend.

*I know the lancer is AWD drive I was meaning meta Lambo

Just to say that the Alfa is insane at the Deep Forest's start. Pace wise the Lambo can still be faster, but the handicap at the start is immense.
So I tried the Alfa for some practice and I'm in the low '32 already. Not fast as with the Lambo yet, but very near. The car has surprisingly the '31 in the radar after the buff. I wonder why PD didn't give a better chance to MR (Lambo apart) or 2WD cars in general.

It was all going so well today: improved my QT by nearly a second, got my first win, feeling pretty gooood 😎

Then on my last race of the night, somehow managed to slam on the clutch pedal instead of the brake going into the first corner and flew like a rocket up the rear end of pole position. Poor chap didn't know what hit him.

Note to self - learn to walk before you run 🤡
