    @Christopher Elliott Could you please explain this little bit?
    Like did it lose power/torque or gained ?
    Did downforce increased or decreased ?

    Edit: I'm asking this primarily for Porsche RSR but wouldn't mind if you give the answer for all of the cars.

    Thanks! Could you add a summary for each car, if it got faster or slower against other cars? I felt, for example, that Aston and 488 were faster than 911 before BoP.

    How were these new default setups created? On which tracks? I ask because for ferrari 280F and 240R spring rates seem weird. The car is 10% heavier in the rear compared to the front.
    Is the front wheel rate different to the rear because of the suspension geometry?

    Is it just me, but it seems like the add-on Porsche and Aston skins via virtual rides method are broken... different .veh names again

    Is there a better way for add on skins to be done to prevent this and make things easier?? It makes being a painter very frustrating.

    "Downforce and Drag" disappeared from the Aston. Is that a typo, was that a typo or what?

    @Christopher Elliott
    We have a six hour race tomorrow & half the field are Aston Martins.
    What specifically has been done to the bumps & rebounds?
    The current setup we have is undrivable with the new configuration.
    have the rebounds been stiffened overall or is the progression from soft to hard more pronounced?
    As you can understand, we need to be able to fix our sets URGENTLY...

    Is it that difficult to test drive the car to figure it out?

    Don't be that guy...seriously. It's a simple question, there are 20 ish teams that are planning to race tomorrow that all have people that have committed weeks of testing and time away from families for this race, and that have full time jobs. Don't be that guy.

    You should have a league rule prohibiting auto downloads prior to a race. I'm not sure how to enforce it or even if it's possible, but I can understand your frustration. There isn't a good time to push out updates like these, somebody is always racing somewhere.

    We have & we've fixed it to a reasonable extent (our setup)
    It would be nice to know, 28 hours out from a 6 hour race that we have spent many hours working out a fast set,
    specifically how the rebounds have been altered.
    We have people who will only be able to come on just before the race.
    It ain't going to be fun for them to suddenly find out that their car is undriveable,
    and with next to no time to correct..
    .. if we have the knowledge of what has been done, we can pass that on to the other teams...

    Obbzy just leave your server with the last version on it for the race. You don't need to update if the guys have spent so much time with the old version of the cars.

    I'd prefer this to occur for the race if possible.

    Yes it is possible even if the mod gets updated on your end the server can run any version of the mod.
