Yes, I have just tested this. It's an old bug that was patched back then, but is now back.

I drove the Oceania Taipuha track (4.4 km) 4 seconds faster in wet compared to dry. (Ford Puma Rally1 2024.) I even turned up the braking power from 2460 (default) to over 3000 for wet gravel and was able to drive well without ABS.
It also feels like driving on asphalt in terms of steering.
Is it enough if I leave it here or do I have to register the bug somewhere?

My normal brake force starting point for modern cars (from wrc 1997-2011 class onward (well excluding Rally3+Rally4+R2+S1600 at least) on gravel(+Scandia&Sweden snow) is minimum 3000, even for wet gravel any location starting with this.
Modern rally cars have lots of grip between tire and road surface so lock-ups won't happen if normally when braking you ease of the brake as speed/momentum reduces and by doing this you prevent lock-ups fully (this is how u brake in asphalt track racing cars too even if there's abs option like GT3, always easing of the brake as speed/momentum drops).
For asphalt(dry+wet+icy) my starting brake force is currently 4000.
If there's some lock-up happening I always try to fix it first with brake bias change. Front locks up too early vs rear end etc I'll be moving bias like 67% -> 66, 65 etc until good. If I'm unable to fix it with this then I'll start reducing brake force by 100 at a time unti lgood (3000 -> 2900 -> 2800 etc) and check brake bias again if it works where I left it (and do changes to it if needed).
