This is not in the patch notes. A couple of mentions about the G40 but not this car and not the changes that have happened.
Basically they've given this car rock hard suspension and have removed the option to change it. I suspect SMS wanted to make this more of a beginners car with fewer setup options but on watching a public lobby race today the opposite was true. I saw people going off all over the place. Beginners and casual racers most likely. I used to like having the odd race in this. I used to find it therapeutic but I it seems many who used to race in these are being turned off by the changes. Public lobby races with this car are now much fewer with lesser participants and some of those that do join usual quit when they discover the car has become more difficult to drive.
The hard suspension has made it twitchy over bumps and even some heavily cambered corners. Over kerbs it's far more deadly than many much higher powered cars.
I don't understand the decision to make a beginners car harder to drive, or as least harder to drive without making mistakes. Is this simulating a real car where the suspension is pre-set hard? Do SMS want to reduced the number of people playing it? Do SMS want people to stop attempting to ride kerbs ... for some reason or other, because that's the safest way to drive it now? It has created a bigger gap between the good and average players.
Alienating the beginner/casual player base doesn't seem like a wise move to me and not one I can see reasonable justification for [other than real car simulation].
I made a "fix" video for those who may be looking for answers

It just backs up why I don't care for racing in monsoons.
