Does driver health impact practice times?

Just out of curiosity, will practice times for a driver with a lower health percentage be slower than if the same driver was in good health? I assume that would be true in a race, although I could be wrong about that. This question popped into my head when I realized I frequently do my practices when drivers have a low health, such as in middle of training or immediately after a race.

Thanks

I can test this on my test account when I get a chance. Hopefully within an hour.

edit: practice laps are timing out...might have to wait a while longer.

I found an old thread from a year ago on this topic that reached the conclusion that health does affect practice times. It makes sense that it does. I have seen several people mention things like generally not qualifying in as good of a spot as expected based on practice times with other factors being equal. Part of the reason for that might have to do with some people's practice times being obtained with drivers in poor health, but when it comes to qualifying everyone is generally in good health so there would be a slightly different ranking of performance.

Thanks for checking trying to check into it for me. Appreciate it.

When I do my practice laps my drivers are usually ~20-25% health and they still perform just the same as if they were 100% health.

Just tested it, no noticeable difference.



First 3 laps were 100% health, last 2 on 1% health.

Ok, thanks for following up and letting me know.
