If I get beaten although 30 meters ahead the difference timewise is less than  0.2 seconds. Yeah, that is really weird. I agree that 1.2 seconds should have had a MUCH bigger spacing on track.

I had one race like that the other day at Monza. I finished in the uper 1:37's with 1st place in front of me by about 150m. Yet his time was in the mid 1:35's! It just didn't match up. However his race lines were super clean, no crazy behaviour. I noticed that he pushed the limits of off-track more than I did. I tested some of his lines later and they worked in OMP, but not in a time trial. There seems to be a little more grace in OMP.

I didn't have any other races like that so I just chalked it up to a one-off. Lag on my end perhaps.

EDIT: I dug into the math and my case wasn't off at all. I dug more and yours was certainly strange.

I chose 280 kph as my example for the cars this week. It translates to 77.78 m/s. 2 seconds at that speed would be 155.55 meters.

Yours isn't right though, must have been some lag. A 1.2 second differential at 174 mph (280 kph) would equal 102.1 yards. So he should have appeared well in front of you. Weird! Lag? Can be as much as close to 8/10's..I kid you not. I NEVER benefit from being within 3 car lengths of 1st 2nd or any position. In fact, I have often finish1st and get relegated to 6th. My point is in all this, how can all these wacky issues disappear based on participation numbers in OMP?

Yes, there's more people, but it makes no sense that more load means less lag for instance. Use to think It was my aging droid. It isnt. TC starts soon, so all thie issues will be gone for a day. From what I see, the first 2 days of the OMP week are woeful for issues(for me) and it kind of levels out day 4 and 5
