I tried it when it was 3.0 seemed fine to me.
I haven't tested 3.1, may have changed. Hmmm. Sorry about that. Will check it this arvo mate.

Just tested it and didn't have any issues. Are you running the car super low or something?

Matheus Machado · Nov 29, 2015

I'm getting the same issue Chris, it happens specially at track edges and kerbs.

I have not tried it on this car yet, but one of the open wheelers and the cobra just get destroyed around the first corner, I will test it again later this week

Ah that's where you're going wrong, the open wheelers are extremely low and the Cobra has massively soft suspension so it compresses easily.

Try in the Mercedes and let me know. Didn't have any problems in that just running default.

Matheus Machado · Nov 30, 2015

But I won't race anyway due to the last RDTCC round

Good luck mate!
I re-watched the previous round and oh lord the racing was intense! You guys really go at it! Awesome stuff!
