Hey guys,
While playing and reading here i came over some things that i wonder about.

1: When i was driving my Camarro in a championship, somehow the PP rating went up a few points and over the limit? It went up like 5 points or so. And i have no idea what it was. If all it should go down while the oil gets dirtier?

2:I read there are other physics in online races, what is different?

3:While driving my cars on the Neurenberg GP track, i somehow drive my fastest lap the first lap on cold tyres. When they heat up i seem to lose grip instead of getting more. Especialy on RWD cars they just break out allot more with warmed up tires. What could this be?

1a: The first 200miles of the cars life, the hp and pp will increase, this is called breaking it in, after the 200 miles change the oil and you will see an increase in more hp and pp that is a fully broken in car.
(cars can gain anywhere from 5-50+ HP depending on the original amount.)

2a: They made a patch to make them closer, but yes the physics are a little different online.

3a: Dont know how to answer that one.

Agreed with above..I think #3 is in your head really, I've run at GP/D/F many times and never had that issue, in fact the opposite. There is a bug at some tracks where your tires never do warm up, it's possibly related to that, but if they are warming up and you are still slower, it's down to you, not the game.
 
Thoughts on question number three.

Could be when on the first lap the front tyres on a rwd car don't heat up as quick as the back making it understeer more on the first lap.
 
It's on a rwd and tire temps look fine going at the icons.
 
My only idea for number 3 could be the false sense of security of the tires warming up and you feel more grip so, you continue to push harder and harer until the tires cant take it anymore.

That is my opinion form experience with time trials. Like you I would think I was running my best lap on cold tires. So I set out on day to try to see how many laps I could complete. After getting used to the feel of hot tires, I started lowering my time .00x-.0x per lap compared to my 1-2 laps hot laps runs.

All I can recommend is practice and try adjusting the suspension if it continues to handle poorly.
 
Thank you. You might have a point there, becourse i drive more carefull on the cold lap, and i might indeed try to push too hard on the laps after.
