Me and some other people in my league found that since the new update dirty air seems to be removed entirely…does anyone else experience the same?

The changes to (the removal of) dirty air was part of the recent balancing update. You can check the changelog here for more details

They said "changes" to dirty air, I am not sure if it is a complete removal. I just want to confirm if that is the case.

In my experience, it still exists but it’s weaker then before.

Hello,

Dirty air was a malfunctioning piece of code. The impact was only at low speed, this was causing overtakes in pit lane and weird behaviour during race start. We completely removed it and we will introduce a proper dirty air system in the future.

Overtakes in pit lane seem to actually appen more often now in my experience.  It has happened quite a few times in my league already

Hello,

If you can record it that would be very useful. ?

Could be down to attacking / defending attributes of drivers. I presume this is what I misconceived as a reduced effect of dirty air, it’s just the drivers attributes effect

If it can help, I saw a very clear overtake during a pitstop in one of my precedent league races (Brazil, 10th January 2021)


Just before my second pit stop, I was third. And after the pit stop, the car on fifth place just before my stop was ahead of me. We pitted exactly on the same lap and we had exactly the same strategy/no boost used. So it’s very strange to see how it could happen, if last update was designed for preventing it.

Did the other car run out of fuel in pitlane?

I'm guessing it is just something that has to do with refuced dirty air and cars entering the pits with almost nothing to separate them, 1L lighter and you could gain the position (in all my experiences every driver had max attributes)

No, no one were out of fuel. And we were on very similar strategy, with the same amount of fuel for this new stint. So very strange.

How do you know what fuel the other car had and his settings
