The latest update has definitely changed the handling of Nissan LMP1 on the 10-lapper. I'm a big time farmer and I do this race just on muscle memory while watching TV. It used to take me about 1:06 to get to the start line, 1:05 if I'm paying a bit more attention or the team I'm running with don't have any farmers. My first 10-lapper after 8.0 release took me 1:12! I almost fell off my chair. I thought it was me so I restarted but I just couldn't bring the time below 1:10 unless I straight-line the chicane before the start line. I don't like doing that because it increases the risk of frontal damage that affects top speed. I was thinking my farming race is screwed because to recover 4 seconds will take at least 3 laps. I'm usually in the lead by lap 7. There goes my comfort buffer.

So I continue with the race and strangely enough, I'm able to clock my usual lap time of 1:37-1:39 from lap 2 onwards.

The handling seems normal except that a bit more steering input seems to be needed for the mid to slow corners and the car feels more skittish and less forgiving when I go off my racing line to overtake. Have to brake way early and anticipate bot behaviour more accurately.

Same thing is happening on my secodary account where I farm the Le Mans 6-lapper at night with my P1 GTR in McLaren Generations but not such a big issue because my P1 GTR is FU'd.

So now I have to pay a bit more attention on the 10-lapper until my new muscle memory kicks in! Especiaally important on 100% fame days.
