Oceania Rally - Wrong grip in wet conditions

v 2.1.3 ( the problem appeared in version v 2.2.1, probably also in v 2.2.0 "Le Maestros"

Driving in wet conditions, or rain, the grip seems strange, maybe the same as in dry conditions.
I did a test on the #5 Taipuha track in heavy rain, and then in dry, with the same car, getting 2 seconds ahead in the rain!

    I've also experienced this on Chile in the wet where the surface is too grippy and impossible to drive. Some corners the gravel is like ice and others it feels like tarmac.

    I tested Oceania (Wet) in time trial after the patch and nothing has improved. The physics feel wrong. As if you were driving on asphalt + understeer.

    I then tried the Official Historic Championship, where the Oceania Rally is currently running, and stopped immediately after the first wet stage because it's no fun at all.

    (The problem was reported soon enough. But it wasn't fixed).

    I’ve experienced the same issue. Glad I found this thread — I was starting to wonder if it was just me or something wrong with my setup.

    Also, from what I’ve tested so far, a similar problem seems to happen in Estonia too.

    I didn't notice any problems in Chile and Estonia (PS5). Only in Oceania is it the case in the wet that the steering reacts more quickly and the weight shifts become more jerky, which can lead to rocking and loss of control. In addition, the car does not want to drift, which increases understeer. (But with luck you can also set great times because the grip feels better than on dry surfaces).

    You should have deleted all times (Oceania Wet) when you patched it the first time. It is the only rally that contains faster times in wet conditions on the server. This makes no sense and also makes it more difficult to identify the problem.

    I have this problem for few months on xbox. I think, since season 5 or 6 the problem exists, at Oceania and Chile in wet, with all car class.

    please find a solution soon

    I have just tested Chile (dry and wet) again on the PS5. No problem found.
