Intersting... I switched, as everybody, to the Genisis - it feels slower, but after adapting I am nearly a sec. faster than with the porsche. 

tbh. physics change is always bad in the beginning, because of the unsuall feeling and the tie it needs to adopt. I had to drastically reduce the ffb. But compared with reality the cars behave more realistic now. The cars were always way to unstable compared with real cars. now it is more predictable. 

Maybe it is a little bit easier as well. As someone who likes the challenge, this could be a problem. But it is too early to say so. 

Hard to know what physics have what affects as the meta here has switched from an MR car to FR which requires a generally different driving style, but these new physics do seem to reward generally more brute force and less finesse - delicate trail braking that was / is so important in cars like the 992 and the R8 doesn’t matter as much here. Infinite grip means you can brake later and harder, turn it in, and then mash the throttle far earlier. No modulation required in any sense. The Porsche felt like you were almost ‘dancing’ with it - this new style feels like you’re just muscling the Genesis around, kind of like the Mazda Atenza in gr.4. It feels more arcade-like to me. Not as nuanced, requires less thinking. You can bet that PD have made a decision to cater more to entry level drivers with this change. Hopefully they fix the BOP with that Genesis - nothing else touches it now and I can’t see any of the tracks being better suited to a different car. This whole week as been utterly woeful.
