Ok, one question. Does the car's performance get affected by how many runs it has done before you quit to the room's main screen? Because I've noticed, particularly with my Veyron, that with every run I make, its performance- especially the launch- changes ever so slightly. The peak of its performance is on the 3rd (or was it 5th…hmm…
run, where my time in the tunnel was down to just over 30 seconds (I think) as opposed to 32 seconds. Is this to do with the tyres warming up and then gradually wearing out?

If tyre wear is on it can make a difference to launches etc. Light blue tyres generally are better than dark blue as well - think it makes a minute difference but shouldn't be a whole 2 seconds!

It was off, so it can't be that. Though I do remember looking at the tyres at launch. I do remember the 3rd run having no tyre smoke at all when the 1st, 4th and 5th all had some level of smoke from the rears. I'll have to do that run again to get a quick 'analysis' of it. And don't take my word for it! I was just estimating. I'm no human stopwatch
Edit: I stand corrected.
1st run: Dark blue, Red, white, pale blue.
2nd run: Dark blue, white, pale blue.
3rd run: Not-as-dark blue, red, white, pale blue
So I think it's the second run that can get the cleanest launch…though with a hooligan like me, the burnouts and donuts I do to turn around could be a cause for the tyre wear inconsistencies…

It's just the temperatur of your tires, like IRL. Warm tires have more grip.

Ok ppl, can we add a few more obnoxious ***** to the blacklist? Again on Indy - seems to be the home of rude ego morons. You get vote-kicked if you don't constantly ghost for them, lol. Slave-tastic. Forget about trying to race!

The host was pigpen55, and to be fair I didn't have any beef with him but the others all seemed to be his clan mates...

Could be.
It is just important where you look. In the garage list or car settings.
