I suppose it could be to combat something other people do that's so tragic I couldn't even have imagined or thought of it, yes. Dearie me.
A tactic I've feared but haven't seen in practice to my memory. Realistically, many people simply have dodgy connections or poor setups. Even one disconnect can have a big impact in a top split room so this is welcome news.
Someone claimed that a specific account was an alt account of a top split driver, and had been doing it, but I don't know how rigorous that person's analysis was to reach that conclusion. It can make a significant difference, though, I've seen races where disconnects meant that someone went from having a chance to increase their points to being guaranteed the result wouldn't count, even if they won. If you wanted an example, I'd struggle to find it as there would be a lot of material to search through, but that's my recollection of what I've seen on some streams in the past.
Is Mitsubishi slow? I don’t see any one driving for them in Manufacturers and they have been on the bottom of the global manu ranking for a long time.
My favourite memory of the Gr.4 Mitsubishi was at Interlagos when I would come out the last corner about 0.2 secs behind someone and be 0.5 behind going into the 1st corner. I could almost sense the bafflement of the driver in front wondering why I was fuel saving in a race that had no issues with fuel (I wasn't fuel saving). Note that this was up against the straight line monster Porsche Cayman, and I had a similar experience at Kyoto behind a Mercedes.I used Mitsu for the official Manu season. In terms of top speed, the Gr.3 car is tied 3rd slowest with Subaru (only Mazda and Renault are slower). Its advantages are braking (almost as good as Subaru), good stability and fuel saving (short shifting doesn't affect it too much). It's not the greatest Gr.3 but on technical tracks it can hold its own. Just be prepared to be passed on every straight even if you're drafting (!). The Gr.4 on the other hand, is completely hopeless on anything other than start-stop short tracks (imagine Monza but the straights are cut in half). It's joint second slowest car with Subaru (only Megane Trophy is slower), eats front tyres and because it only has 5 gears short shifting loses acceleration massively. Braking and traction is good but that's about it. Honestly, unless you're an alien I would not suggest using Mitsu unless you're just doing it for the lulz
Yeah, was half thinking we'd possibly get an early December update. Also, the Supra on the 16th(Monday). Still, weird it's every Wednesday.
