Random long game pause

Hi all, having a random issue on my PC where I’ll be going through aftermarket wheels and it freezes the game for maybe 10 seconds or more randomly when selecting a different wheel. Because it pauses so long you are disconnected from horizon servers. Also noticed it selecting paints and random load screens and sometimes whilst in freeroam it’ll say I’ve lost connection to the servers as well which I can only assume it’s having issues loading something in the background.

Have updated my chipset drivers etc, all M2 or SSD based drives.
