Why would that have any affect on car grip levels? Is it not just the frequency it updates the car positions? You drivnng and grip levels, sliding is determined on your PC?

Again it felt like the tyres were a few degs different when driving compared to previous testing so decided to try out softs in qually and went over a sec quicker which surprised me. Should have stayed with them in the race as my times were nowhere near what I had been doing even in the race-practise session when driving on mediums.

A lower update rate on all the other cars may give your PC more time to process your own physics. This could also explain the difference you're seeing Spanner. It's not until race night you're on the server with more than 2 or 3 other cars.

I'm happy to try other values just wary of doing so in league races. These sort of things need a test race IMHO. Although it might help people with less favourable pings or slower PCs I'd still want to know it didn't create problems for those that have none at the moment, for example the cars jumping around more as the updates are less frequent.

I have no probs with PC performance and have 110 and higher fps in race. With less hz we shouldn't see any visual problems with cars moving because new Kunos opponent car prediction alghoritm is working )

You sure it wasn't just your own connection being a bit dodgy Alexey? I saw your car doing some weird warping and manoeuvres on track from my own cockpit  I remember thinking where's he going? When your car took weird tangents

May be, my friend, may be )  I always controlling my ping and yesterday it was't be criminal. But such strange car behavior ( when i can't go on track like i traned before) is not must to have dependency of ping, when i am is my own cockpit and driving a car, isn't it? So , strange things still here    So sorry that Kunos is calm about this problems.. So sorry that i can't tell him in official AC forum due my bad english... And so sorry that i living so far from European servers

especially once FMG caught me in the pink panzer. From then on until race end we had a great race long battle  I kept him behind for ages but eventually the pressure told and I got more ragged, finally going a tad deep at the hairpin allowing the Nisan to power through. Surprisingly I thought he would then be able to scamper away but he seemed unable too and I was glued to his wide pink derrière for over half the race but unable to find a way past.
We were both suffering with shot tyres at the end and it looked great seeing the big Nissan moving about on its tyres. We crossed the line within tenths of each other, brilliant championship and race fight  shame I was behind tho  :'(

Although it certainly didn't feel like it at the time, I actually passed you about 5 laps from the end having chased for for the majority!
As I was on softs I think you made your mistake at about the last point in the race that I would be able to take advantage, I was able to scarper only briefly before my tires fell off a cliff and I started to make errors and slow back into your hands.
The big Nissan felt great  (GGGGRRRRRRReat?) though with my setup as it was squirming around all over the shop 
I watched the replay of our battle in full before bed and was enjoying the spectacle of me fighting the lard bucket through the tighter corners and particularly over the kurbs in the Schumacher esses from in car with you

I think it's doing about the same laptimes as the Lambo had been for me but is just so much nicer to drive I can actually push it and chuck it around a bit
