Definitely a physical effect, not psychosomatic or psychological - I'm talking about one Japanese player entering the room that had an effect on everybody else in that room, doesn't happen every time that Japanese players join in. It happened the other day when a US driver joined in, and went back to normal when he left.Ran a 4.59.8 in the GTR myself with no SRF in sight. If I eventually managed to put 3 good laps in, it will drop another second too.
I don't like running the GTR though. The BoP is way off with it on a power track like Fuji so I'm trying to get the Z4 into the 5.01's instead... Not the jeans, the time.
Regarding the Japanese dropping the grip level, perhaps it's a cumulative effect with several drivers from far flung countries adding to the problem but without knowing how the connections work, it's impossible to say.
My guess is a minor case of psychosomatic. You see a Japanese flag, instantly think you've got less grip and drive accordingly.💡
Yea i like way you were taking it easy on the first lap getting me excited thinking im doing well here then the next two were hammer time & you were gone! LoLDid 4 or 5 races at Monaco - needed a ( what was it ? ) relaxant after Indy.
Left that 51 : 49 balance, guess it's one's personal liking in the end.
Met @BALDY500 and had a few good laps of racing with him.
Hope to get motivated for Bathurst now ... if it only wasn't THAT thrilling.
@coryclifford
Read you been blowing the rest away, what about your setup?
Thanks for the advice. The only differance is im not fast enough to worry the brake & blockers lolMonaco's good but do yourself a favour, shop around for a decent set of racers. I had an hour racing there this afternoon and lost count of the amount of brake checks and wall squeezes done to me. Not pretty. Had to bait and feint for almost every pass but very rewarding seeing them go for a ram and brake checks in the place's where I used to be.
I've moved my ballast too now - how much weight have you added?
). And all these might even mix up during a race. So ... sigh ... don't know ...
Don't worry, no offence taken - I knew what you were trying to say! I'd hazard a guess that it's the better drivers that are less likely to notice itI didn't mean any offence, hence the laughing smiley. Dry humour getting me in trouble again?
I can only put it down to good timing and good internet for the reason I've never encountered it. It can't be geographically based though. Maybe you've been unlucky enough to meet individuals with astronomical pings dragging the overall performance down.
The lack of info on how the QM's work doesn't help. As in is there a single host (first person in the driver list) or is there direct peering with the person closest to you on track? The latter sounds right for the symptoms but one of my favourite ways of playing QM is pausing on the grid to drop to the back and then trying to fight my way through but I've still not experienced it...or maybe I'm just not good enough to notice the difference.
Anyway, I'm guessing but please don't take what I said in the earlier post as an insult. It wasn't meant as such. I'll keep looking for what you're seeing.
But you're rarely running back in the pack.....I think the whole car is 903 kg - I'm at work so I can't have a look now.
The grip effects box :
I think there's a row of different effects. I've encountered each one that's been mentioned and more, e. g. grip loss when you run close behind another car ( don't say "slipstream"
Don't worry, no offence taken - I knew what you were trying to say! I'd hazard a guess that it's the better drivers that are less likely to notice it
Ah yes, didn't think of that....When lapping ??? ...
Btw it is 903 kg.

Got home from work and decided to first set up PSN accounts on the new PS4 and get me my PS+ subscription, then do
some more Monaco laps. The former became somewhat lengthy and irritating with the PS4 structure being quite different
and it didn't make me feel better when I noticed that I had a 2-year-history of messages from people I never heard of
At some point I had the engine of my trusty yellow Mazda Roadster running on the PS3 and a heck of a heap ( correct ? @MOPARbarrett5 )
of messages from curlygurlxD and her teen friends ( Hello, how are you ? ) on the PS4 not knowing what should get my interest.
So it was ping pong for the rest of the night. Apologies to @Rizla - I left after only 2 races - but I heard curlygurlxD asking what I
was doing tonight

soap car on Bathurst. My driving way in the corkscrew sector is so particular ... make me sick after 10 laps. and I'm not talking about the poor guys who follow me. Afraid they are 
. They wonder if I drive only by looking through the side windows.
! you'll be mine ! just a question of time.
