Overall I really like the track so far, but the bumpiness is what brought me here too.
I've started with the RSS Formula 79 because this got an update today.
I have spun every lap at T1 by the rear sliding out. That car is a bit tricky, but it took me several laps and some setup changes to get through T1 at least somewhat confident.
Continued with the 908 and 935 Moby Dick, in the 908 is was alright, yet in some turns it felt like the front was washing out, the 935 was quite stable but you could really hear the bumpiness by the engine sound.
Inspired by berniyh's GT3 R video I wanted to use such a car, yet I selected the GT3 Cup because the GT3 R I'm already struggling with in general.
Yes, as it was said before, the Cup car is very, very stiff, but what becomes quite evident is the fact that in most parts of the track you can't load up the tyres in turns, braking and accelration. At some parts it felt like I was only managing to get the car through a section without being able to push or feel the limit, just managing to get through there fast without losing the car.
Even more obvious at the right hand turn before the backstraight (1:05 in the video below), which is rather smooth and I could really push the car and feel the tyres loading up to have some sense of their limit.
In hindsight this was probably also happening with the previous driven cars, just of course to a lesser degree.
I'm using Real Head Motion to smooth the camera, which in return quite well shows how much a car is moving/shaking.
(Edit: and before somebody comments on my spin at the end, that was mainly due to the fact that I carried too much speed at that point, so my fault)
