Well, for any of this discussion to have any validity at all we need the
people making these comments to verify that what they are driving is EXACTLY
the same as what's being simmed.

Tyres (new or worn), brakes, weight, etc.

If there is any truth to this though then it sure does make a mockery of

isn't mm perfect - chain's as strong as the weakest link!
