I'm experiencing and odd phenomenon where the first few hundred feet of a race run slow like molasses then return to normal speed. The car's engine responds to throttle input like normal, but the car itself and the race as a whole just run really slow. It's only happened when running the seasonal races thus far, and I'm thinking of two directions to go with attempting to solve this.

1) It could be the custom music playlist I have loaded, I noticed that the music doesn't play until after the lag ends.

2) Re-installing the game data as it could be corrupt.

Just wanted to throw a line out there and see if anyone else has experienced this issue or know the root cause of it.

Update: After much driving around, I noticed that this issue only presented itself with one specific artist. Removed the artist from the playlist and the problem disappeared.

Never heard of this issue but I know playing your own music causes other problems so I'd guess that's your culprit. Try turning it off and see if that helps.
 
Make sure your internet connection isn't failing on you and up to standard. With a laggy connection, seasonal events can seem to slow right down and become extremely laggy and unplayable. (atleast in my experience)
