@CapPeanut It’s clearly a issue and a ongoing one in previous years that has never been addressed. As Codemasters Masters as far as I know have never even commented on it: So I can only Bly guess they think it works as it should.
But it is also one I genuinely don’t have at any speed on any corner. So wanted to see if I could find the reason. And ever since last year and discovery this POV witchcraft. I noticed I was faster over a lap and I rotated the car easier.
So did my little test and using default camera and FFB settings I instantly noticed how lazy and heavy when steering. I don’t have the skillset or the equipment to deep dive the issue. So I can say for certain what it is but hope my suggestions help some fellow pad users

@ScarDuck14 I appreciate your efforts and I too hope your findings may help others with the same issue. Unfortunately the issue still persist for myself.
You are also correct in stating that Codemasters don't see the issue, as they clearly programmed this "feature" intentionally into the game. What is utterly baffling though is why they did that. Presumably it was done to help newcomers to control the car using a gamepad without spinning around all the time - but this filter does precisely the opposite. It makes the game significantly harder to play, and I have no idea why they would think that purposefully delayed inputs would be anything other than incredibly frustrating.
Something needs to be done about this. Either remove the filter entirely as it is completely useless - or at the very least give us the option to disable it in the settings menu.

@CapPeanutYour totally right In the past on 2020 at Spa going through eu rouge in the wet the steering would massively stiffen up so I would over compensate and spin crash and die.
Other thing that makes it pointless. As I’d assume using the steering assist is on by default in casual mode. Never used it to know if works. But I tend to think it doesn’tAlso I used kontrol freak extender stick on my left stick. They work really well making steering inputs smoother and precise. I think the steering may activate when it detects sudden, sharp aggressive inputs
