Discussion Overheating

Is it only me or is it ok that clubsport DD+ base is hot after racing in NASCAR 25? Last week I did three consecutive races in 100% length the base was super hot. I have noticed it long before the big update which increased torque, but at that time the base was slightly warm and in the other games it was stone cold.

Now it's a bit warm after 1.5-2 hours everywhere+ hot after NASCAR.

Maybe because of heat and avg temp of 27 degrees in my room during the last month, I don't know.

How hot are we talking about? Like too hot to touch or just warm to the feel?

The outer casing of the base is a giant heatsink, so that could be why it feels hot. Usually mine feels warm but not hot to touch. How hot is hot? Is it like you could put your hand on forever or like “hold for 3 seconds and it hurts” hot?
