Has anyone else been having this problem...whenever I race in an online lobby with more than 12 other people, my car will not accelerate and it has extreme understeer. If the race starts off with 14 and 3 people leave, as soon as it gets to 12 people or fewer my car will immediately begin handling and accelerating normally. Am I the only one?

I will be 2-3 seconds a lap slower than my qualifying time and thats even with the draft during the race.
 
Thanks Zeta. I thought it was related but someone in the lounge I was just racing in said it was different. They were saying it didn't affect the cars handling, it was strictly a time thing.

Even if the handling isn't effected, you're still at a roughly 3% time disadvantage, and that can't help anything. Nothing like turning for a turn that isn't there yet, or has already gone by.
 
Never set up a lobby, nor enter one, with >12 drivers until they somehow fix this problem.

Even with 12 drivers, it still occassionally happens if there are lots of people using voice headsets or wheels. To prevent that, you have to go 10 or less, and that really sucks.

This is why I host rooms w/o voice chat. It sucks, but it eliminates one of the causes for the glitch (headsets).
