It used to take me about 1:06 to get to the start line, 1:05 if I'm paying a bit more attention or the team I'm running with don't have any farmers. My first 10-lapper after 8.0 release took me 1:12! I almost fell off my chair. I thought it was me so I restarted but I just couldn't bring the time below 1:10 unless I straight-line the chicane before the start line. I don't like doing that because it increases the risk of frontal damage that affects top speed. I was thinking my farming race is screwed because to recover 4 seconds will take at least 3 laps. I'm usually in the lead by lap 7. There goes my comfort buffer.

So I continue with the race and strangely enough, I'm able to clock my usual lap time of 1:37-1:39 from lap 2 onwards.

The handling seems normal except that a bit more steering input seems to be needed for the mid to slow corners and the car feels more skittish and less forgiving when I go off my racing line to overtake. Have to brake way early and anticipate bot behaviour more accurately.

Same thing is happening on my secodary account where I farm the Le Mans 6-lapper at night with my P1 GTR in McLaren Generations but not such a big issue because my P1 GTR is FU'd.

So now I have to pay a bit more attention on the 10-lapper until my new muscle memory kicks in! Especiaally important on 100% fame days. There is nothing different with the car.

The difference is that TSM has been changed and there is an issue with the AI on the first lap or two, so they take a different line initially and aren't positioned in the places you are used to.
