Been watching this the last 3 hours and after every service my lap times drop by half a second, if not more. Could be my imagination, as Im a crazy old coot at times I’ve definitely not experienced that, (in my climb back up to 1200+) I’ve had consistent times at each of the races from fully serviced to pre-critical ... I guess you’re just a crazy old coot! LOL!

I gotta lean in the direction of "I guess you're just a crazy old coot" too...

Many times my best laps are right before needing service. I think the performace specs are static until you reach your red bars. Some of my best laps come right before needing service, and I attribute this to getting more familiar with the car/track combination after doing multiple consecutive races.
