    When i start to practice/race with those cars, it seems that i need to turn my wheel some degrees to the right in order for the cars to go straight ahead. It feels like those cars are somehow damaged (in terms of steering)

    Does anybody face same issue? I am on 1.3.8.3v

    What happens when you calibrate your steering wheel? Does it make any difference? To me this seems like a calibration issue.

    Is this only for the Caterham cars? What cars have you tried?

    I did re-calibrate my wheel. No difference

    Yes - up until now - it (strangly) only affects the 4 caterhams. All other cars seem ok.

    Here is a short video with one of those caterham cars:



    As you may see, when the race starts, my wheel vibrates (and then moves approx. 5-10 degrees to the left). So it must be smth wrong with the ffb in those cars here..

    Should i post it as a bug?

    Wheel vibration is meant to be, It is the engine rumble, I don't have the dis-calibration
    Perhaps your wheel reacts to the rumble, does it also happens if you turn FX in de FFB settings down?

    I turned down the FX from 75 to 50. It s a little better (less rumbling at the race start) but again with these 4 cars i do have a slight wheel dis-calibration (to the left). So i constantly need to have my wheel 5-10 degrees to the left during straights, which is awkward

    Dunno why is that

    Check the contents of your tuningsetups directory:

    drive:\Users\$MYUSER$\Documents\Automobilista 2\ savegame\$SOMESERIAL$\automobilista 2\tuningsetups\

    If this directory is not empty, either delete all those tuning setup files, or move them somewhere else as a backup. Then launch Automobilista 2.

    It used to be a common problem that saved setups created on older versions of AMS2 could cause problems on a later version of AMS2. This shouldn't be much of a problem anymore, but it doesn't hurt to test if this is the root cause of your problem.
    (Hypothesis: e.g. the Toe-In setting could be different on one of the wheels)

    Another thing to try: In Steam, verify integrity of Automobilista 2

    You could also try to delete/rename the whole
    drive:\Users\$MYUSER$\Documents\Automobilista 2\
    directory, but that is a drastic step (you will among other things lose your multiplayer safety rating) and should only be done after you've tried everything else.

    @Roar McRipHelmet thanks. I ve already done 1 and 2 (dont want to delete my whole AMS2 folder cause i will loose my onboard camera settings for all my cars)

    I dont see any difference. For an unknown reason, the ffb (especially in caterhams) feel more "robust" near the center right than in center left. This gives me the impression that my wheel center (i have a red stripe in my wheel that depicts the center) is some degrees to the left.

    It may (or not) be a bug specific related to my wheel though..
