From previous experience at the Nordschleife, it is exactly that.

Man! What a race in Rd4 !! One lap of dry track then rain started in the second lap. Most of the second lap was wet with RH tires, made for some white knuckle moments. Then the rain really hit... 3 intense laps of downpour. Had some really great CLEAN racing the whole race with "Arborman", "TPC_KosmoKasi" and mostly with "Volkswagon". Him and I were racing hard the whole race. Great racer!!

Slot 1... DC'd as qualifying started.
Slot 2... All dry. I do not enjoy the Nords/AMG combination. Somehow I dragged my way up to 9th.
Slot 3, it finally got interesting. Rain came just a bit into the 2nd lap... or so it seemed. We'll get to that later. Anyway, I really thought about jumping back to the pits for inters, but dithered until it was too late. No one else did, though. The first guy on the track avoided enough of the rain to get pole, and I, about 10 seconds slower, got 2nd as literally everyone in front of me crashed. OK then! First lap in the dry was mediocre but I was still in touch. Seeing that the rain was again close to the track, I pitted for inters at the end of lap 1. Unsurprisingly they suffered some wear but about 1/3 through the lap it looked like the track was wet and I was starting to make up time, until suddenly... the back half of the track was basically dry? Even though there was darker blue over it in the radar??? I'd like to know if anyone else saw something similar, it made no sense and completely destroyed my inters. I took the lead as everyone else pitted on lap 2, but the damage had been done. Maybe it was the wrong strategy anyway because I would have had to save a lot of fuel to make it to the end, but I had to pit at the end of lap 3 as I was at around 5% on both fronts. That put me back to about 10th although I managed to get back to 5th by the end.
I know GT7 is trying to simulate different conditions on different parts of the track, but it doesn't make sense when the radar shows something completely different. Wondering what others' experiences were.

That is really bizarre. I didn't have any rain in my own race, but when I was doing laps in Free Practice, the track always got to the second tick on the gauge whenever it was hit by coloured squares on the radar -- even if they were the lightest blue. The darker blue tended to go even above the second tick. Can definitely understand your frustration here.
