Yeah, I did the Espace F1 Circuit experience to see what it was like, and the ghost kept disappearing behind me on the 1 lap attack, each sector change put it even further behind.
Spec II or Spec III? Nah, pick the most random 1.XX number and completely change how you play the game, that'll definitely earn the trust of our esteemed player base 
It's too big:
For reference, and 'cos I checked beforehand:GTPlanet August Update Article
yes, definitely some changes to fuel consumption. Prior to the update, I'd have to up the map to 6 for 1 lap in order to pit on lap 9. Now since the update I have to run FM 6 for laps 7, 8 and 9.
Controller player here. I'm on your side when it comes to physics and to their methods, but thinking that a simcade massively played by controller users may left them apart forever sounds a bit naive.
I feel your pain and others who put a lot of effort into tuning. I kind of suspected PD would mess with this and never personally tuned many cars beyond basic setups for specific races. And this was in large part because physics can change and because it is also very time consuming to verify setups.
I appreciate the reply mate,i`ve tried to go back to my previous set up but its not the same.Some of the fanbase like the change,others not so,its a bit of a nightmare but we will have to wait and see what happens.I don't think there is a right answer for this as there's too many things that can or have been changed or are different between car(s).
Even if a car has the same aero, numerically, it might be affected because the min and max settings for aero have changed. For example, if there was a car with front aero vales from 50-150, and you had the aero value at 100, this would be half (50%) of your available adjustment.
But, if update V1.71 has changed the min / max values to 50-200, your '100' is no longer half of what is available, that would now be '125'.
This would affect your setup and how the car feels, except PD has really gone to town with screwing with people's setups as they have changed spring and damper values / ranges too. These are some of the values / variables that can be related to aero and subsequently how a car feels.
So even if you do return your car to the same aero levels of pre V1.71, unfortunately, there's no guarantee this will 'fix' the / any issue. The impact of this is also going to very according to what type of setup you had on the car, setups that had stiff springs will probably be less affected as these changes cater more for that type of setup, so you're less likely to feel a big difference.
This is made even more complicated as the aero changes across all car(s) affected are not the same, either numerically or statistically i.e. %. Aero updates are not +50 or -50 and neither + or - 50%.
That's just the setup, PP points / calculation also looks like it might be different, especially the WTC800 'grind builds' where having min / max aero setup was good for the PP rating.
Keep your eye on tuning section, I'll be posting something later.
In the meantime, I'm still going with this
Don't panic, save your old setup and try and be patient 👍
EDIT: without knowing what car and spec you're talking about it's hard to be specific with a right answer to or for the situation, if you post details or even screenshot of settings then that would make it easier to be a bit more specific
now "every" car consumes more and is slower. made my no stop strategies not fun OnO (except sarthe 30 mins, you can still do on FM6 without problems on rx7 787b engine)
Go back to that hypercar and use SM tires - depression fixed..👍

Im glad im not the only one to notice this,I was beginning to think I was imagining it. 👍 Time to mess a little more with pad settings to see if I can reduce it.The real issue is whatever they did with the input filtering on pads which makes the cars wobble and interfere with your driving. It's too strong an implementation. Sometimes I feel like there's a magnet straightening the car against my will. Even reminds me of the NFS games made by Ghost Games. Which should tell everyone how bad it is.
I also noticed it quite a lot. Its especially bad (even broken) in the weekly race with the Mitsubishi Evo offroad, for me its literally undriveable. Other than that, driving feels a bit simplified compared to before but as GT7 is my casual racing game anyway, i don't mind that too much
I think what they did is a double-edges sword. They removed deadzone from the middle of the steering, so the forces start swaying the steering from left to right. This is very clearly felt in steering wheel FFB, and I like it. No dead zone means you have constant uninterrupted control on the front wheels, but as I said, its double-edged - no dampening/deadzone means oscillation when trying to go straight. This is a lot worse in some cars than others, and I can imagine its sub-optimal for gamepad users if the setting is the same. I can not understand why PDI cant let us choose our own preferenced deadzone - only way to make everybody happy.
