Ran the Sebring event in the Velocity tour with Spike the Oreca Dragon. Ran my fastest times on hards, oddly. Won fairly handily on a two-stop strategy. RAWR!! 
What did you do in FM23 today?

Are you running the car in stock form? In the rivals event for Road Atlanta, the car is an absolute nightmare for me to drive on my wheel. Once I was able to tune it for the velocity tour, it became much better and manageable. I felt the stock settings have way too much understeer, resulting in nasty snap oversteer when trying to correct for it.

Can you share your wheel settings? I see you're also using a Fanatec wheel. I made a few tweaks to my settings and managed to get a 1:25.8xx in the rivals event. Nowhere near the 1:22 top times. Still fought the car way more than I should have to. I fired up GT7 last night to compare, and for me it's a night and day difference between the 2 games.

Thanks for sharing! I found a major issue last night with the in game Dynamic Damper Behavior setting. Mine was defaulting to 0 every time I booted up the game. I had Steam check the file integrity and that fixed it so far. I've been running at 100 since Beezer215 recommended it. That fixed the issue I was having with the car.
We run extremely similar settings. The only major difference I could see, is that I run my DD1 in peak not linear. I tried linear and the oscillations become worse for some reason. I also run a little less in game damper (5-10).

I didn't do it today but, I reinstalled Reshade. I forgot about some of the effects I can use with the post processing filters. But still, all I use it for is sharpening.

Today I limped to finish the Lamborghini LMDH series... Not aboard the Lambo, but with one of the Wheelen Cadillacs, which was underwhelming and has been deleted from my roster.

I finished up the velocity series, never again, after the changover, had to select a new car, went with the Mclaren Lesabre, which I had to add a bunch of engine mods to get it up to PI. Only had a single race needed to complete the set, so didn't care too much how competitive I was, ended up with a rocket ship in the straights, but useless in the twisties, tires were about dead and lost the car on the 3rd last corner losing 3 places from 5th to 8th.
Glad to finish up that series, wasn't a fan, just didn't really like the cars on offer throughout the last few weeks, but I guess was more fun doing that than the single player tour.

I opted for the Apollo and certainly felt some intensa emozione when the faster cars were constantly ramming my car up the arse on the straights. Those emotions tended to fluctuate between frustration and tedium rather than sheer driving pleasure, though.

Grrr.... I set some time this morning to do the enduro at Sebring just to be totalled 7 laps from the end by the 2nd place car that clearly had worn tires and losing pace but would not yield (I play with simulation steering/no rewinds, so it's kind of Demon Soul's racing). We really need a flag system, and the IA needs to be less braindead!!!
But also, this idea: If you complete 2/3 of an enduro race and this happens, give us the option to DNF the race and clear it!

I got bored waiting for the Open Class tour to return in five days and decided to rerun Extreeem!!! Speed with the One:1 for giggles. Don't believe the horror stories. This car:
With this tune:
... was able to navigate even nightmare Tilkedromes like Catalunya and Yas with ease, enabling me to beat the pants off the level 8 AI from a twelfth place starting position with zero problems.

I, uh, reinstalled the game. It's been a while but now that most of the performance issues seem to have been cleared up, my backlog of other games has been reduced so I can free up drive space, and with Fujimi Kaido in the impending future, I figure it's a good time to get back at it.
Now, just have to re-learn how to properly drive all these old Trans-Am cars again...

It's a good little piggy. I enjoyed the dual with the hippies down the Old Mulsanne. Eventually I'll go back and get a hippie and rerun that race to see how it performs.
Is this class just those two 917's and the Ferrari 512S? I rarely saw a Ferrari in any of the four races.

At any rate, the 917/20 was a bit of a schwein when it came to navigating the initial Ω-shaped series of turns on the Nurburgring GP circuit but otherwise the difficulties it gave me were next to snout I mean nowt. Let's try out the hippie to see if its flower power results in a porkier pokier car that can still turn corners without suckling, er, sucking.

Cosmic, dude... the hippie dippie 917 LH was able to slaughter the pigs' lap times even with level 8 AI selected and kicking off from a 15th place starting position.
Having been afraid I'd have trouble turning corners with it, I'm pleased to report that
