Having the fan on doesn't rule out hear being the cause. This really does sound like expected behaviour when the wheel gets too hot. Is it warm where you live right now? Have you tried reducing the FFB strength?
When you reduce the strength of the ffb it improves, in the end it continues to lose strength but takes longer to do so. Anyway, no, my room was in a good temperature so that can't be the problem. I am 100% convinced that it is the game.

You've pretty much confirmed it's an overheating issue there. Now you can argue that the game is causing your wheel to overheat more than in other games but that doesn't change what's actually happening.
I've got the FFB strength set to 70 using my T300 and have yet to experience the issue you've described. I can't be certain whether this is the default or not as I did adjust this setting in the beta and not sure if it carried across or not. The ambient temperature in my room may also be a factor compared to your experience.
@Ultrasonic_77 What firmware version are you using on your steering wheel? If it's different, I could try putting yours and see if the problem disappears.

Looking at what's downloaded on my laptop I think it's 31, from 2020. I've certainly not updated for a while as I've not had any issues. However, as @SteveJackson says I wouldn't try to downgrade if you're already on a later version as that may not be possible or could introduce more issues. The latest driver will be what the Codemasters team will be doing any testing with too.
