There are lots of things that vary in this game. But, after everything I've been through, I'm convinced (and have experienced) SA DOES affect braking distance irregardless of the small fluctuations of starting speed.

There are also other oddities I learned about, such as steering and grip variations while running a track in reverse (Spa Top Speed Team Events), being able to hit certain barriers for an INCREASE in top speed, etc. The way customizations 'might' help in some events, not just upgrades. There are lots of things only the top guys know (and usually, they're the only ones good enough to notice the difference).

There will be discussions about how this person can't replicate this situation, or that situation, but unless you're at the very top, you won't be able to see the differences they do. But they do exist.
