Physics:

* Mclaren 12C GT3: Small eyepoint adjustment further back
* BMW M3 GT, BMW 1M: Adjusted spindle inertia's, increased FFB strength
* BMW 1M: New setup, stiffer bumpstops and springs for bottoming problems. Better balance.
* RUF RGT8 GT3: Safer bumpstops to remove alot of the bouncing from early contact on bumpy tracks.
* Caterham SP300R: Slowed the AI speed to close match theplayer. No changes to the player car. Works great.
* Radical SR8X/SR3: Slight drag profile change. Moved more towards rear. Helps stabilize the back end in high speed.
* Ginetta G40: Slowed AI speed to match player car better. Stiffened front swaybar 1 notch to reduce oversteer, Increased FFB strength.
* Ariel Atom V8, 300: Added a different rear carcass to handle the rear heavy weight better instead fo sharing it with the Caterham R500. Reduced wear as reported on WMD forums.
* LMP1's, Audi R18: Adjusted default setups to work at Lemans without dragging the skid plates or running out of gearing. Top speeds 188-190mph now with the defualt medium (5/5) wings. Was previously only getting 175 from bottoming. Handling not really affected. Still handles great at tighter tracks. Also tested at Oulton Park.
* Supercars: Pagani, Maclaren's, Gumpert, Merc SLS, Audi V-10 - More tweaking of the tire caracass. BoP changes so the P1 is a little faster than the Huayra. Other car got tweake sto for drivabiltly. Suspension gone through for caster and geometry, bump steers and scrub raduis. A general making sure all the cars work and make sense with the newest tire.
* FWD, 4WD cars: New front geometry with negative scrub radius. Take what Casey did even further. Seem to have solved the weird feel of the FWD cars FFB and tucking in under power now seems to work at least a reasonable amount. 4WD suspensions got some of that plus the front roll center was higher than the rear (a-arm angles) which was probably causing the up on 2 wheels reports from the Lancer.
* Formula C: Added latest carcass to rain tires. Tweaked wet compound to suit. Reduced differential lock to help last bit of turnin understeer., Changed the steering geometry for more ackerman. Noticed this at Azure circuit. Low speed understeer. New tire carcass to handle camber and temps better. The outside of tires were hot with more than enough negative camber. Small setup change to suit.. New setup for newest tire. Stiffer rear springs. Shortened scrub radius to 20mm. Lowered 4th, 5th, 6th gears to be more usable with the defualt wings. Set defaut tire to be the latest.
* GT3 Cars: BoP Adjustments. Shouldn't be so clear now as to which car is always fastest. Most got small aero drag/downforce adjustments. The Mercedes got more power as it didn't match the listed power and it showed in game. Lots of work on the default setups first before any adjusting. Fwiw, I was fastest in the RGT8, then the Aston, Mclaren,Z4. But all cars for me are within 1 second. Tested at Dubai International, so I'm sure the cars speeds will be more track specific. SLS should do well at the longer tracks. No changes to the tires, although I'm pretty convinced we at least should add more cold drop off. First we'll test this.
* Ford Mustang Trans Am: New suspension geometry, removed double caster, changed to front steer. better rear axle geomtry to handle the drive shaft torque. New setup witha better shock package. Damper knees changed to 60/70 and 70/70 F/R. Developed a new bias belt tire carcass and compound that made more sense to me. Having driven a GT1 Camaro thats very similar to this I can say it more closely matches how they feel. They were extremely easy to drive and were softly sprung and well damped. Handled the power with no drama. Awesome car to drive now. My less than alien times match pretty well with what they were doing at RA and Watkins Short back then.

Fixes the bad braking and corner entry. The front suspension was basicly locked under braking with the combination of these things. The lack of compliance overloaded the front tires easily.
* LMP2 cars: Lemans balancing which is mostly slight drag tweaks and making sure the gearing works with the default setups and there is no dragging the bottoms.. Added low end torque to the RWD 20 and the Marek Diesel Turbo's so the manual clutch works easier without stalling it. No change to upper power. Did add some mid range torque to the Marek to get a bit more competitive.
* Mercedes DTM: New tire carcass and compound to go with previous physics check in. Got back on this one as i still wan't happy with it. Mostly stiffened the tire carcass again and added longitudinal bite. New compound based on what i've had work well on similar cars recently. I'm more competitive now with it as it accepts the power much better and has great turn in. Small changes to the setup to suit. Dropped the AI speed just a bit also.
