Hey guys, I've got a bit of a problem here. I'm racing at 100% distance, and AI on legend with the AI improvement hosted at racedepartment; I have also deleted the catchup file. I was just racing in Melbourne and noticed that my teammate Buemi was pulling away from me at a rate of anywhere between 2 to 5 seconds per lap, he was about 30 seconds ahead when I took note of this. As this is happening I notice that the lead car is catching me, slowly but surely. Vettle passes me as I make a mistake, but I am able to follow his line and actually hang with him, in my STR. Meanwhile, Buemi is still pulling away from me at the same rate as before.
How is it that Buemi is pulling out 2 seconds per lap on me while I am keeping pace with the race leaders? And for that matter, As buemi came out of the pits he was about 4 seconds ahead, pulling on me about .3 seconds per lap. Seems fair enough, maybe he's just faster than I am. But I made a mistake a few laps later, giving him a substantial lead over me, and all of a sudden he's lapping at least 2 seconds per lap faster than I am. What gives?
