Like countless others before me, I played 7.2 for over 3 hours and more or less memorized the exact braking points required; when I used the Chrion Sport once again in WTTT, the braking points were quite noticeably later and the car behaviour was less snappy than in stage 7, breaking grip in a more gradual fashion.

Of course it could be said that bots in the way would screw up your cornering lines and extend the required branking points, BUT on certain corners with a clear track (in 7.2) the braking distance is still longer than in WTTT. For instance, at the chicane I had to brake before the curbs on the right (in 7.2), while in WTTT I could brake past them and still make a perfect turn. The car doesn't seem to behave in the same way; perhaps there were some hidden attributes to nerf the braking/ gip that the monkeys would not blatantly show up in your car stats.

I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt but in past SEs, cars were very likely secretly nerfed as well (the Mercedes CLK-LM in Silver Tourer comes immediately to mind......)

And yet Jan passes 7.2 with like 4 upgrades ;). He is also likely several seconds faster than you in wttt 🤔 Have you considered maybe you aren’t actually taking those turns “perfect”?

I’m struggling like crazy with this circuit, but at least I have the insight to know it’s me, not the monkeys.

And for those playing at home, please note that the conspiracy now applies not only to SE’s, but also mid-week wttt and career drags.

If someone is consistent B skill, don't you think one can observe differences in car performance if they exist? How much Jan leaves on track from what is possible? I assume he also has a learning curve new track/car, so his perception also isn't always same. There is no perfect benchmark lap/driver to prove... Like you said, no proof, just perception, and perception can trick you...
