Like countless others before me, I played 7.2 for over 3 hours and more or less memorized the exact braking points required; when I used the Chrion Sport once again in WTTT, the braking points were quite noticeably later and the car behaviour was less snappy than in stage 7, breaking grip in a more gradual fashion.

Of course it could be said that bots in the way would screw up your cornering lines and extend the required branking points, BUT on certain corners with a clear track (in 7.2) the braking distance is still longer than in WTTT. For instance, at the chicane I had to brake before the curbs on the right (in 7.2), while in WTTT I could brake past them and still make a perfect turn. The car doesn't seem to behave in the same way; perhaps there were some hidden attributes to nerf the braking/ gip that the monkeys would not blatantly show up in your car stats. I don't believe it. Though I also spent many hours on 7.2 (~2 hours with all 3's, then 2 hours with 3333343, then one succesfull hour with additional +2 on Engine). Then I did the WTTT of course. Like you said, it is subjective. In SE there were bots so you had driven it differently. And it was dark, so you felt it differently. Very important, there was absolute no off-track condition in 7.2 so you wouldn't risk too late braking as you thought to yourself "good run, maybe I make it this time". Then, '''how? '''How would they alter the car's stats, technically? At least it would demand some micro-update to be downloaded and there was none (I have auto-updates disabled).

Very weird conspiracy in this thread, honestly.
