    The rear wing is on default 3, so quite low. I don't believe for a single bit that this car would do this IRL at this rate either. If it does, it's the worst car even designed after the Mercedes at LeMans.

    And in addition, it's front-mid engined :confused:
    Never seen it lifting its front to a wheelie at any track...also it's such a purpose built machine, i'm sure, they would've noticed such an issue IRL.
    Rear suspension squat, front suspension bounce and sensitivity to underbody air...I get the impression, it's not "just" a default setup thing...
    Even a Porsche Cup, that lifts its front quite a bit, due to wing and rear engine, doesn't tend to perform "wheelies". ^^'

    Once again we complain about a mistake and discuss whether it really is a mistake. And again there is no reaction from S397. That is what makes me sad.

    Not even a "we're looking into it". Even on discord they ignored everything about it.

    The number at which the wing is set to might not be telling the whole story. It is possible that one car with wing on max is generating same downforce at that end like other car with wing on some low setting. I'd mostly suspect the diffuser + rear ride height, rake being main player for this. But guessing... thats too funky for simracing these days.

    It would be awesome if we could look at physics parameters. But we can't, or can we ? Also checkign the telemetry, but the aero channels might be blocked, or are they, anyone was checking that ?

    I am not defending by the way. I have not used the car yet. I am interested in experiencing it now. I don't believe in arguments that any car/tire is so perfectly engineered that it would never have any undesirable characteristic. I believe it is an engineers goal, thats why modern motorsport is quite boring, they do build nearly perfect cars. This bentley doesn't flip thats awesome, but by the looks of some places it gets a wheelie it does look wrong.

    I wish there were more lead in community in terms of confronting or accepting various opinions, of which sometimes just keeps on annoyingly echoing forever with no consensus in community at all. I guess it is either just not worthy to spend precious time explaining stuff for our community, well composed posts that in technical subjects are difficult to do, there is no strong lead to do it efficiently in the first place, or it is just against internal rules and wouldn't make any benefit in terms of consumerism of rF2. Not doing anything might be most positive solution after all. Although it is not really positive, perhaps we could say least negative then. Internet sucks bro.

    Edit: Christopher just gave feedback in post above mine meanwhile as I was wasting my time on my useless post which is now truly useless, but it is funny :D

    EDIT: oh i misread, sorry (i read "doesn't" for some stupid reason :D )

    Anyway, we have confirmation now, that the anomaly is acknowledged.^^

    Engine mixtures for GT3 will be a new feature; not yet implemented.

    At least that’s what was mentioned.

    Hi Chris. Appreciate all the hard work that goes into this, especially for a free car for many. Can you please look at how the AI drive the Bentley also? They are well off the pace at every track I have tested, up to 4 seconds. In single player, we can't race against them because they hold up the other cars. I have also noticed the AI are having difficulty driving the AMG GT3 since the update. It may be because of the default rear wing setting on 1 making the car very taily. I've seen them lose the rear a lot at multiple tracks.

    The Bentley's gearing is way too short for LeMans, while other GT3 cars are fine. Was this on purpose?
