hello HABBEKRATS,

I've had a look at this and was not able to reproduce the issue you've described, switching  display didn't affect the speed.

Without going into to much detail -  the display is just a visual in the game, and doesn't actually affect the speed of the car. 

The videos you posted though do show something is not quite right - we have had a few other reports of players having similar issues with Nakai's porsche and are investigating that.

Let us know if you still have the same after a reset, can you also try with another controller if possible?

thanks!

    Thank you for your reply. 

    I have completely rewritten my original post as it turns out it was indeed a controller issue. I have been talking with other gamers on forums like reddit with similar issues and they told me it was a worn out trigger on the controller that caused their problems. It caught me completely off guard though as the controller seemed fine, and when comparing it with my new one there is only a very slight difference in the resistance of the triggers. I would have never expected a year old controller to already have worn out components.

    Thank you for looking into the problem regardless, i appreciate it greatly when a company takes the effort to listened and help players.
