I was watching a replay of the Brands Hatch challenge with the Lotus T97 and i noticed the body of the car getting lower to the ground as the speed increased. I wasn't sure about it as the circuit isn't exactly flat so i took the Lotus to the special stage route x circuit to take a better look:
It's cool to see that PD actually incorporated this in the game, but leaves me with more questions:
Is it just a optical feature or is this also included in their vehicle dynamics model? The second picture shows more camber angle, so this would mean one would have to set its static camber lower in order to get the right amount of camber when travelling at high speeds... I know the camber settings are flawed so it probably hasn't got influence.
I also tested it on the Sauber C9:
When changing the downforce the dynamic ride height does change.
I also tested it on the Ferrari F430 scuderia, there is no noticable change in ride height at high speeds. So it seems to apply only for cars with high downforce. I didn't do any further testing but i thought this is interesting to share.
P.S. The lotus T97 is awesome
