During the race meeting I changed back many of my other setup changes which didn't solve the issue but I didn't have time to rebuild the diff back to original configuration.

Anyone have any input or things to try? I'm on ETS black carpet.
I raced ETS/Daun on 7k and Small Washers....upon return to US I left this in the car.....to see how it would feel....why not....?
- - Result = bad snap throttle as you said on US Black Rug).

For your comparison:
- - Before going to EU: I was on 10k and small washer....I had also tried 8k and small washer and it was marginal for off-corner drive so I stuck with 10k.
- - After returning to US: I hadn't tried the large washer, so I built the diff with 8k and large washer....which on track is as-safe-as the 10k/small.

Summary = large washer for about 2k benefit at the most. Might also add the car (or me) was very consistent with 8k/large last couple weeks now....or this is from having some proper beers with EU racers....
