I rearranged my schedule and last night decided to try some different cars and tracks to see if anything changed or felt better. The slight optimism I felt on Wednesday night driving the Corvette GT3 at Nurburgring GP was not carried over to the Mercedes GT3 at Spa. No lateral grip at all. Four wheel slides into a lot of turns. Having to brake hard and downshift to go through Eau Rouge is not how a GT3 car is supposed to go through that turn at least I don't think it is. At the Bus Stop chicane the car wanted to just slide to the left and then slide to the right through the turns, the opposite directions of how it's supposed to go. So I had to try and torque steer it through there to get the rear end to come around. It was just a mess and the worst that car has ever felt.
Then I took the Mustang GT3 to CTMP and it was more of the same. No lateral grip, four wheel sliding, etc., etc., etc.
But what didn't help with anything I drove is how I feel bumps on the track with this game. Undulations feel like pot holes. Occasionally it feels like I've ran over a 6 inch diameter pipe that was laid across the track. This huge jolt goes through the wheel. I ran a 8 lap race at CTMP with the V8's and after practice and the race my hands and arms felt like I had tried to do 200 pushups. The shaking was just constant. But a slight positive was the V8 felt a little better at CTMP than it did at Bathurst and Derby. Turn 3 is where it really wanted to get away from me.
I also drove the Lamborghini SC63 at Rocky Knoll and that wasn't that bad either.
