There a bugs and some questionable physics. It's hotly debated on GT Planet atm

Some cars feel too easy / forgiving, some nearly impossible to drive. There is something odd going on.
This is clearly bugged, can't do what the demonstration does:
And beware of rain. You can't feel aquaplaning coming, but it's pretty instant when the rain meter fills up into a segment incompatible with your tires
Instant loss of all traction and spin out when the bar (lower left) hits the upper third segment (where you need heavy wets).
The second segment supports IM tires, with regular tires you can only drive in the lower third segment.
If you try to make a draft pass and go off the dry line, the meter adjusts to the wet section of the track and instant loss of all traction if it goes a bit too high. When it rains, don't pass, just nudge the AI off the dry line... It doesn't spell good news for online races.
But it is extremely immersive to get hit by a rain storm in a race, very cool. Just got to watch that water gauge.
