Watching Music Replays for Tire and Suspension (Ab)Uses is Zen.

The Music Replay is quite a gem that is, unfortunately, difficult to set up for its most useful feature: observing how the tires and suspension cope with the track.

Worth the effort?

There is somewhere north of 40 different camera angles that can be applied to a fixed position relative to the car, but they seem to be chosen at random, and can only be easily altered by [up/down] d-pad selection of another car then returning to the desired vehicle. This is only after the selection gives you a one-in-three chance of the fixed-position replay (not cockpit or overhead)

If you've got a nice, high-end rig with a DD wheel and perhaps a subwoofer in your seat, chances are good you're feeling a lot of the feedback in the suspension and tires and rifling through all the camera angles noted above probably isn't worth your time. However, if you're on controller, or just in an office chair as I am, there's probably some wisdom to be gained from getting a good look at how your suspension and tires cope with kerbs (and sausages when present).

IMO, the view shown in the video above is perfect. You can get a sense of body pitch, yaw & oscillation, tire bounce, suspension travel, tire deformation, and the circumstances that provoke under/oversteer and if the driver under/over compensated for it. Well worth the 5-10 minutes of finagling the interface to get the camera angle.
