Ok, when other experienced drivers topic this too, I do not doubt anymore. I've discovered it too. My first thought: "Can't be such a huge difference to the 2017 GTE, this one now drives more bad than many road cars". My second thought: "it's grip and tailyness is fun but strange on low- and high speeds as well, where's my downforce??". My third thought: "FM can't just alter the specs afterwarts".

There is a fuel company in my country that sells premium diesel for an additional 14-20 cent/liter compared to standard diesel. They claim things like "more range" etc. The problem is, over many years and in different cars as well, I've driven reproducable amounts of kilometers in similar and like circumstances. You know what? The premium diesel IS more high-yielding...

WAIT, STOP! No it is not, it yields the same amount of km/l or mpg as the single and only art of diesel that was available a few years ago, and in the meantime, they made that normal diesel less-yielding (partly by adding up to 10% biodiesel). So YES, there is a difference, but not because they improved the amount of energy in the new premium diesel, but by reducing said amount in the old one! Gradually off course, so that hardly anyone notices...

Look at the 2018 RSR as well. How good of a car can it be? FU, I alreay drove a 01:39,527 at Spa in it's series, and I'm only a level B WTTT driver. What will a theoretical 2019/2020/2021 RSR do? We all know real race cars improve over the years, up to levels where they are on par with the cars in a higher class from a few years ago. But not endlessly.

FM can't endlessly improve the statistics of new cars in the game, so they make older cars worse to make the new one look better. I don't want to hear it myself.
