Racing in the rain (offline)

I am currently doing a 24-hour race at Le Mans (offline) and, while the last six hours are taking place in the rain, I have noticed the following elements (which deserve to be corrected or improved):
1- the spray
The height of the spray behind the cars is almost constant. However, it should vary according to the speed of the car: high in a straight line, low in the corners (at least in the slow corners) and this is not the case.
2- the grip outside the usual line
Normally, on a wet track, the grip conditions are very different from those on a dry track. Not only is there less grip (or even much less) but the usual line is almost unusable because it is greasy and even more slippery than the outside line which should be preferred. However, with the current version of LMU, there is no difference in grip between the lines: you can choose the usual trajectory and not feel that the track is greasy... definitely abnormal.
3- puddles
When it rains a lot, puddles end up forming here and there all around the circuit and even on the track in some places (and we can see them so this point is positive). But, if we drive right on these puddles, nothing happens: no splashes, no feeling in the FFB (or even a change in the noise). that, on the other hand, is clearly something to improve...
4- rain tires always at 100%
When you use the save function (tremendously useful for long races, well done!), the rain tires are always reset to 100% when you change a session, regardless of whether you used them the previous time... And, to be precise, this doesn't happen with slicks... Another "detail" to correct.
5- AI tire choice
Not only are AI slow to adopt rain tires when it starts to rain, but also, when changing a saved session, they go back to the pits at the beginning of the stint to change back to slicks while the track is still soaked...
It doesn't last, they just need one lap to "understand" their mistake, but if we could avoid this grotesque situation, it would be better...
6- AI speed in the rain
AI are reasonably fast on a dry track (I'm not complaining) but what a disaster in the rain!!
The cornering speed of LMH and LMdh is simply ridiculous: I can keep up with them with a GT3... Clearly, this is another point that deserves to be improved!
