I logged into Hawaii last Friday for the first time in about a month.
When I logged in it downloaded a new multi.exe and a few other files.  I
unzipped the files and then went back in to race.  

I used to be able to get into a race and usually run in the top 5 at
most tracks (i.e. Michigan, Atlanta, Rockingham, Bristol, Matinsville).
This time my cars were so friggin tight I was unable to place higher,
and I haven't touched my setups.  Usually at Michigan my car is so loose
(I like them that way!) that I cant run hard at all until about 3 laps
have passed, then I would fly.  This time I couldn't get it to turn.

What the heck's going on?  Why are all my setup's so much tighter, was
it that new multi.exe?  I even tried loosening my Michigan car way up to
no avail. It seems basically I need to start all over on my setups.
Does anyone have any baseline setups that I can get?

I'm fairly certain that no changes have been made to the physics model
since the open beta. I certainly haven't noticed any changes in setups and
I spend a lot of time at it.

Jason - most likely the difference is that weather has been enabled, so
that the conditions on the track match what was set up in the scheduler.
We haven't changed MULTI physics since the two bugfixes last spring (analog
traction equalization and weight shift fix).
