Unresolved

Car 2 is always quicker in qualifying, part 2

What did you try to do?
Nearly identical driver, same setup, same tyres. Expected cars to be at equal pace.

What happened instead?
Car2 is always quicker in Qualifying. Sometimes Car1 is ridiculously slow!
Here is my old thread about this topic: https://igpmanager.com/forum-thread/38232
I returned recently to the game, hoping this problem is solved. Seems like it is not. Gonna update this thread throughout the season with more data.

PC

Win10

Which browser did you experience the problem in?
Chrome

Can the bug be reproduced?
I am trying. Gonna use same tyres and going to switch cockpits half way through the season.

Additional comments:
I joined the same league I was in last year on purpose. If this bug persist, I might try switching to a different league to see, if I still suffer from this.

Edit:
*) Someone told me, I should try setting push level 5 in advanced strategy for race. That might influence qualification?! So I am trying. PLn indicates the push level set pre race.

The last 2 races I set PL5 in adv. option in strat. It seems like this has an effect. More data will tell.

It definitely has! I tested it with exakt equal drivers (height, stats) ..... same Push both have Same times in qualifying..... different Push both have different times in qualifying

I know, devs have other things to do and maybe this doesn't matter after next update. But still, my data suggests, "ADVANCED OPTIONS", especially "Default Push Level", have some sort of influence on qualifying. That contradicts every statement by Jake and Mods regarding this topic.
I truly believe this influence is unintentional. Please have a look into it.

Oh, I didn’t notice that the push level affects te times. I will test it today. In fact, driver 2 is always quicker in qualifying, when same tyres used.

So, I didn't post here for weeks, hoping that the big update would change things. Also, I was training two young drivers.
Recently these two made their debut. Early indication is, the problem persist. 😩
Going to add more data in the upcoming weeks.
