There is also a difference in grip levels between version 1.03 and
1.05 (1.04 appears to be the same as 1.05). Christopher Jordan

So I went to Mexico and found why V1.03 is faster than 1.05. Too cut
a long story short I could use the wing set-up 61/30 and still get
around the Peralta _without_ any sign of oversteer. When I tryed
this wing set-up on V1.05 I ended up in the pit wall! I could only
do a 1:12.053 though, however this was in limited track time
(homework had to be done!).
I then went to Portugal and, same story through turns one and two.
V1.03, wings 64/34 and car was stable, V1.05, wings 64/34 and
massive amounts of oversteer, undrivable! On the second lap on V1.03
I did a 1m09.488! I then had to do my homework!
Therefore it would seem that the car is more ballanced on V1.03 thus
allowing more radical and faster set-ups while still allowing the
car to be drivable around the faster corners.
Now my comments:
This is not true.
I can take a car of 64/32/-12 to Mexico and get a 1m11.953s lap. No
oversteer in Peralta. In fact, this car actually pushes in the esses,
but then again, what car DOESN'T push in the esses?!? ;)
I can also take a car of 64/34/-10 through Turns 1 & 2 at Portugal with
no oversteer. Yes, it oversteers slightly on the inside of the track,
but that's what you want!!
I am using v1.05 (patched from v1.03). I think this mainly has to do
with line and steering input.
