'something' has changed, let's have a closer look at it:

- car physics have not changed, next to gamechangers statements all the top WTTT guys prove it every week.

- AI has changed, along with it also also the assists and therefore the behavior of your cars if you use them.

the early bots at endurance stay in the middle of the track all the time. the further you go, the better is the racing line from the bots. it looks to me like the fastest bots in 8.0 are faster then the one's in 7.6 and closer to the limit. also, it seems that they're programmed to let you some space on the track if you put your car next to them in turns. that behavior also makes them crash or overshooting turns if you force them, even without pushing them out of the way, but that's not really important here...

it could be that steering assists are more related to your speed and/or support wider/better lines in turns. so if you go fast and wide, you should appreciate the new assists. if you're slow or take the narrow line, assists kick in more making you skid and losing control.

I also noticed that making cuts became easier in 8.0 (at least it feels like in LeMans, Monza, Spa and PTT) if you stay full throttle, I feel like I have to adjust less if I wan't to go straight through chicanes. this would support my speculation.

I use Wheel A with sensitivity 9 and SA low. while I don't like the changes if I just grind a bit while watching tv or work or whatever, I appreciate them if I 'race seriously' aka hunting best times in WTTT (got the feeling that I improved my performance there and shortened the gap to the top players).

so,... try to go wider and get used to it.
