Anyone else noticing speed changes from race to race??

It would mainly happen on the rolling start "qualifying events" for me. Sometimes the race would start and my car would be slower than the last time. I would pass less bots or have Magnus driving faster (so it seemed). This was on retires, so all the same bots.

On 6.2 I had some big swings on turn 1 using the same braking point every time. I race with no assists 99% of the time. On 5.2 there was the odd time where bots would be fast enough that they were hitting me before I cleared them. Even though I had enough speed to clear them on the prior attempt. This was right after the race started, no corners yet, just gas. I started ONLY pressing gas when all 3 red lights were lit (before starting) and it seemed to help. Weird!!

Assists may REALLY be killing people here as well. I tried SA high for 6.2 (as I sometimes do that for time trials). It absolutely WRECKED turn 1 for me. My car went to take the same stupid wide line the bots take. It wouldn't let me steer when I wanted to, then when it did I skidded like crazy. I turned it off and gained about 1.5 seconds on turn 1 alone! SA does this on some other tracks as well, so it's not just here. Porsche tracks are a great example, SA is a killer there.
