I’ve been playing f1 games for over a year now, my friend has just gotten the game a month or 2 ago, as of last week he was still learning and was far slower than me, but overnight he’s started gaining 5 seconds per lap every race on me with the same car. Is this a tuning thing? A settings thing? What could possible make someone that much faster with the same car.. I would be willing to believe it’s a skill deficit if it gradually happened over time, but one day he was far far slower, the next he’s way faster.. it doesn’t seem to make sense.
