This is a phrase we should keep in mind when discussing mantasisg's work :
Incredible contributions, plus a single person who greatly contributes to keeping rFactor 2 alive.
We can only be truly grateful.

I don't think my help has any significance in keeping rF2 alive. Maybe without me there would have been 2-5 less players played rF2 in last month, that is at most.
I do hope to help prove in future that rF2 is best simulation, or at least best modable simulation. I am growing a pretty good collection of my own cars, or my physics versions of them mostly... and that collection of rF2 cars will keep on growing and items of it will keep improving as long as rF2 is best moddable sim.
It is crazy hobby, can't believe I am really doing this and it is working out... hopefully in future more people will see and agree that it is working out..
I wish there was 70s Long Beach in rF2. I think I am almost there in replicating this sequence very similarly.

The front of the car is set up even softer than I used to think. The tires did benefit fro making them heat up more, fluctuate more in temps as was suggested by you. Steering rack is faster than I had before. Caster is lower than I had before. I reduced wing sensitivities, so they have less stall at yaw. Engine has to have inertia not too little, not too big. Wheel travels were lacking, fast damping was very off. I might not need that much rebound slow damping after all. I suppose this is on hard combound, so I assumed what I had before was soft, altered its grip a little to make it bit flatter, and furthermore flattened it with less rubber sensitivity, now I call it hard compound (WIP), and that pulled it a lot closer to how it is in the video.
It is a special feeling when you advance in physics, and there is this feel that you jumped a lot forward towards truth, and you feel this connection to what you have seen in videos improve, leading to understanding it better, feeling more familiar as if you have time traveled, projected into Patrick Depaillers mind and captured some emotion/car connection that he must have had at that moment. As you can see these pre-(super)-downforce era F1 cars had pretty neat balance of being planted and having these fluid, controllable effective yet dramatic slides at moderate yaw angles in all speeds.
In general I think I am getting pretty similar to real handling at low speeds and medium speeds, at high speeds it is little bit too planted, I don't know if due to aerodynamics or high speed specific tire params.
In the wet it is getting pretty good too. I think people don't know how good rF2 can be in the wet, and my aim is too show with this car.

Current state of my T008 project in rF2. In this case specifically wet handling, getting there... Already super good experience... to me. Video of course is again - bad, maybe in future I will make some good ones.
AI is obviously much too slow in wet.
Car is unfinished obviously. With addition of livery (I hate so much doing them, I have no idea how people do them when they need to add objects which are in a few UV islands, and I have whole 3D environment to make that easier), I have noticed a few inaccuracies, but who cares, only I do. Still some mechanicals to do at the rear. Level of detail objects for optimization. Dry compound tires doesn't blur for some reason. Helmets liveries. Instruments functionality. Rain light... almost everything left is what I don't really care about that much, and might never finish it. But I have still some way to go with physics, which are by now pretty good already.
I will be sharing this car in for of videos me driving it. I think as good as it handles, as my most previous cars, they are challenging, and to experience them at their best one has to also be able to craft setups. So they are just bad idea to release publicly, they = car made by me. I am sorry for those who can drive very well, and also who can make decently functioning setups, few of you don't have time for shadow realm mods anyway.
