Overall speed of the cars

The ultra-slow cornering problems seem to be solved almost entirely, which is a good thing. The speed of the cars as a whole seems too fast though ( in my opinion ), and I wonder if there is a way to bring that more back to normal without hurting the flow of the lap. At least to me, it’s almost like watching a YouTube video with the play speed increased dramatically. Unsure what others think of it however

Addressing slow cornering created most of the problems since launch, actually. Now it's addressed we can start to look at fine tuning it more.

The speed of cars at 1x is much closer to something realistic with the updates, but 2x looks too fast in the most competitive leagues. I was thinking the same thing and we should probably rebalance the speeds to look more visually pleasing.

The very few races I've seen in real time 3D looked OK, if anything maybe even a bit slow on some straights and some corners a bit too quick, as I was somewhat missing that dynamic in the flow of corners and straights.

The trouble is most leagues are racing 1.5 and 2 time speed and it's inevitabe those look like time accelerated youtube videos, as those races are time accelerated.

The league I am in was already 1.5x speed before the big update and the cars now are moving significantly faster as a whole. It’s genuinely a bit jarring to observe on some of the tracks with more complex layouts

Cars seem to hardly slow down for the corners in the top half of the Singapore map (Stamford and Padang in particular), and it may just be coincidence, but seem to behave more like of old in the lower half. That may just be 2D, and perception. Personally I think it should be added to the Community Issue Tracker, even if the 3D based version of 2D eventually solves it, if anything just to keep record of it.  
It has improved drastically from December though.

Today, I've tweaked race speeds for a more natural flow. It is not new physics, just an adjustment of the speed.

It's a long story, but there used to be a slight acceleration of races in the Rookie tier so that they didn't go on too long. That accelerator was being applied to the new iGP leagues and hosted leagues in the new system, as they're technically classified as "Rookie" under the hood. This was making top-level leagues run at significantly visually accelerated speeds, exactly what we were seeing.

Singapore does appear to be an edge case that will require a proper review, the other tracks look a lot more natural though.

As of this mornings race in our league, the speed is now 2x, but the league itself is set for the standard of 1.5 - we judged this based on the race time of 44 race minutes being 22 real life minutes. Is there any way we can correct it actually being 1.5x speed?

I don’t know if the issue with the car slowing down/speeding up has been generally resolved, but right now we have a race in Hungary and the cars slow down on the straights, only to accelerate in some chicanes. Another problem is determining how far you are behind the car in front of you in the DRS zone. Sometimes DRS activates, sometimes it doesn’t. 

As far as I can see, there are still quite a lot of problems and bugs from the update.

We are working on a new 2D viewer, rebuilt from the ground up to use the 3D minimap as the base. This will fix all of the synchronisation issues 2D is currently experiencing. In the meantime, we are aware of the situation but all we can do is ask that you bear with us while the new 2D viewer is completed. Our goal was to complete it in a week and work started today. I'll try and keep you in the loop.
