Adrenaline... Biology over Computer Science....

I've never have a throttle fail mid race, only at start of WTTT. Firstly, neither have anything to do with how the RR3 timer in a persons device does not correspond with the "final result". Ostensibly there can be no "latency/lag/frame rate" discrepancy between the game's counter/clock timer when in career mode. When I run a 8.999(stated and frozen at the finish) in a drag race (or any lap for that matter) and the "result" differs, something is patently wrong. I'll reserve my response about "science" for elsewhere. Especially since learned(read indoctrinated to be repeated verbatim blindly from a very young age) "science" all too often is not bound by emperical testing/actual scientific method and is all about "theory" these days.

Secondly, just because one does not experience something does not negate the experience of others. It was in relation to your perception of differences in grip levels... The grip level of the car is the grip level of the car. The difference is your ability to control your device under varying degrees of stress and increase in heart rate... In a career series, there is nothing on the line. In OMP your rating points are at risk and your body reacts to that risk whether you like it or not.

In WTTT it is the finite sessions created by limited drive or service and trying and often failing to hit a target time to the next group that produces stress that causes an increase in adrenaline and heart rate that effect your motor skills adversely.

F1 drivers spend a huge amount of time on cardiovascular conditioning, not only because it keeps their weight down but because it makes their basal heart rate much lower than the average persons, so that when it elevates, it doesn't go as high meaning there is less of an effect on their car control.

Then there is Speed Junkie... that's superhuman.
