Here is my personal experience.

At first I thought the handling of cars had changed, but it turns out it was me driving some cars I hadn’t driven for a while. I ran several hundred laps (not exaggerating) testing the endurance crash bug in different cars on different tracks and soon found myself feeling right at home in all of them. Audi R8 LMS ultra, Porsche 918 RSR concept, Ferrari FXX K, McLaren MP4-X McLaren P1 GTR and the Nissan GTR a.k.a. Godzilla.

As was mentioned, I did find that certain cars were degrading faster than normal. In fact sometimes minor side contact would have a big affect on the cars performance. I believe that has been corrected but I haven’t gone back to drive those cars since. That would certainly have an impact on braking points but that’s the degradation issue not a dynamic’s issue, as someone else mentioned.

I felt better about the whole thing when I started driving the McLaren MP4-X @ Le Mans Endurance. I started driving that one like crazy because that’s the only decent place to farm right now in 8.0. At first I was quite a mess but that’s mainly because I haven’t logged much there for quite a long time. However now I find myself using the exact same braking points I used in a video I made a while back. At first I couldn’t use those braking points but within a day or two of going at it I was right back at home again. I’m actually better at that race now than I was in the past!

I did a lot of testing on the horrible bot behaviour at the beginning of time trials, made a video about that as well. That has nothing to do with car dynamics, it has to do with the bots trying to drive in the middle of the track while going to fast for it. Thankfully we’re all in the same boat with the weekly time trial tournaments. Just can’t be competitive in certain old time trials right now.
