I also caught backmarkers on lap 4, FWIW.

I wonder if its a sampling issue. Most people who would have completed the series by now would have used bot-slowing to rush through with an unserviced car, which would lead to a biased distribution of race times and, thus, a bunch of slowpokes in the way. Or perhaps it has to do with the 'track speed adjustment' FM uses, where they give you slower bots on difficult to pass courses (I first noticed it on Melbourne).

Regardless of the cause, dealing with slow traffic with a car like this is a real laptime killer.
