@matty0blobber I highly doubt every single AI had damage/ers/drs faults all in the second stint...
Consider first half off race:.. cars are just heavier due to fuel load. Then also consider cars especially from around 5th place to last are all running close together. Ai are alot slower when they are in close proximity to multiple other cars. Then softer tyres lose grip in fewer laps than hards…
As race progresses and especially after they put the cars are more spread out thereby it’s easier for them to go faster. My fastest lap time in a race is always after I’ve pitted
