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.
 
@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?
 
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...
