Has something changed

Hey first time posting here so hi, I'm in no way a great sim racer I do it for fun and have played online on AC but not ACC as I'm enjoying racing the computer cars to be honest currently 92% is my kind of racing level for a good race at the front. I do really like ACC but some strange thing has happened over the last few days.

I like my Bentley in real edurance series and in ACC and like many love Spa, so it's my go to track for a great race. I'm again in no way fast with my pretty consistent lap time being low 2:23's on normal setup and low 2:22's on the aggressive setup and I have no idea about setups so leave it to them defaults.

Blanchimont used to be flat in 6th for me on a dry day but over the last 4-5 days it's suddenly stopped being flat, if I do go flat I get massive understeer and spat off, if I try lifting anything more than 50% off the accelerator I loose the backend at high speed which always ends badly. I can make it with letting off the accelerator briefly before turning and then about 50% accelerator when turning but this wasn't the case for months before this and I'm loosing time in a corner the Bentley used to gain me time to the opponent's.

Has something been updated with the physics or tyre models recently?

It doesn't really feel different in other corners so if nothing has changed, what's the best way in the setup to combat either loosing the back end when lifting in a high speed corner? or reduce the oversteer flat out through there?

Appreciate the help ☺️

 

There might be differences in grip between the 2018 and 2019 versions of Spa. On some tracks grip changes between the years are simulated, but I'm not certain Spa had any changes.
There might also be different track settings between the different series/seasons, and BoP of the cars has changed somewhat between seasons, but also here I'm not certain if that influences stock setups.

What I'm saying is, double check that you actually drive the same season as before on the same track settings.
Other than that, changelogs can be found here: https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?forums/news-and-announcements.61/

 

Well there is definitely changes between the 2019 and the new 2020 track and car, feels very different so maybe I was playing on the 2018 versions before switching to 2019 at some point
