Aside from that I didn't notice anything particularly different about this LTS, but several updates ago I saw a change where top bots came out much sooner. I don't bot slow and after only 3 or 4 events they'd be almost maxed out.

Another related factor is that late braking cars often bring harder races. I believe this is because the players' main advantage over AI is the ability to brake later (and accelerate earlier), and the margin for gain is reduced as bots brake later.

If the player does not adjust to realise the full braking potential of the car, the advantage can even flip the other way. Ever been rear-ended by an MP4-X bot, for example?
