Online, the rear suspension bottoms out in compressions while turning, and makes the car step out violently. This doesn't happen offline. Especially noticeable in Fuchsröhre
You get a full *decompressed* suspension in online, thus the difference.
FT86 has very, very soft default rear springs, so you have to watch for it.
Great car to drive.
SupermelonFixed.
I find it really hard to drive this car stock online, its feels like the car has sports hard in the front and comfort hard in the rear.
Beautiful car to drive stock in offline though.
It's your technique. Manage the car's attitude better and you won't have a problem. If it's difficult, you're trying too hard.
-Cheezman-It's the game that's broken, not his driving technique.
The car seriously doesn't work well online. Everything that is suppose to be simulated offline from real life completely falls apart when driven online.
McClarenDesignI've driven my 86GT online quite often, and don't have a problem, even with the different physics.
The car is terrible online. No matter the setup. It will snap-oversteer for nothing.
Don't know the specifics (amar212 does, because I think I found this out because of him), but apparently, all games are tweaked for online play. It's a way to have things run smoothly and all that. Can anyone really explain? I'd prefer not to ask my brother.That's because you have adapted to it but the fact that the real driving simulator has more than one physics standard is a problem for the game.

SupermelonCould be but I doubt it is the main reason.
In offline mode, I can handle the 86 with ease on the Nurb.
The balance of the 86 is very impressive. Quite easy to feel when the car reaches its limits and and the rear hardly slides unless coaxed on purpose. Even when the grip limits are reached it happens progressively, no sudden snap under/oversteer.
Nurburgring Nordschleife (Offline)
Stock 86 with oil change (fully broken in,no aero)
Sports Hard tires
All aids off except ABS1
Grip Reduction: Real
Laptime: 8:12.665
Not the fastest laptime on this forum(~3 seconds off the record on the Nurb laptime board), but I find it difficult to achieve the same results in online mode.
I haven't driven the 86 in online for about 6 months, but the one big thing I remember is the awful snap oversteer.
