My group does the same, we have managed to get gr3 cars at 600hp and 1400kg go work ok, but not as much door to door racing which is what we as a group crave.Not just you, boost and slipstream both seem to be ineffective.
We have a great group with very mixed levels of speed. Boost and slipstream keep things together, help compensate for errors/misfortune, and give us a fun night of racing.
Switching to 7; everyone strings out, so you don't see another car (until you lap them!) and may as well be time trialling.
We are bunch of old farts mate, we like close racing and in sport boost helped us with that.I still don't see what the issue is with boost in lobbies. If you crash, you crash. Artificial boost doesn't seem fun to me at all, consequences are though. Sometimes we all crash... its kind of an integral part of racing and learning to race.
I wish we had realtime damage and no ghosting as the standard. Would go a long way towards making players more cautious and aware.
Damage and no ghosting are available as options and they work, although they are irrelevant to this thread.I still don't see what the issue is with boost in lobbies. If you crash, you crash.

Not a thing has changed in lobbies that I am aware of, I could be wrong.So has anything changed since the recent updates? Still no boost?
That’s offline, I’m talking about online lobbies, where it definitely does not work!Boost is definitly working.
Test done with all same cars on hard difficulty, 10km straightline

Id tweet him if i knew how ...Bump! Well we’ve had two maybe three updates since this was first pointed out and the boost is still not working!!!! It makes our weekly social/fun lobby really boring as the the less skilled drivers are just getting left behind and not enjoying the game. Is it worth tweeting kaz?
Apparently it is working, just nowhere near as strong as gt sport.So update 1.20…. Is it working yet? Probably not 🤣
Well, yeah. We did a test last night 3 of us all on PS5’s the lobby was unusually smooth and boost did appear to be working. Last time we tried it there was a PS4 user in the room, it was all jittery and there was no boost. I heard that the jitter happens when there’s a mix of PS4&5 players. And from last nights test I would appear that there’s definitely a difference to the jitter when all are on the same console (or perhaps that’s a massive dose of conformation bias, more research needed) I’m wondering if this also brakes the boost? Need to do some more testing but I’d rather be racing 🤬Boost is back to normal, for those that use it.
Please post your findings as I’m interested to see what you findWe did a test last night, one on ps5 and I was on PS4.
No issues at all, mind you there was only the two of us.
I have a 30 second head start and caught up in 2.5 laps of a 5 lap race at Bathurst.
We both used the same car in bop settings, top speed in 5th gear out the front was 156km/h and behind was 171km/h.
We are testing again on Thursday with a bigger group with a mix of ps5 and ps4.
ran a lobby tonight with 8 regular drivers and a few randoms.Please post your findings as I’m interested to see what you find
