Rewind length - how long is it?

I feel like whenever I use the rewind function it is arbitrary. Sometimes it rewinds a 1/4 mile and sometimes it rewinds 50 feet (with no option to rewind further and im laps into the race?)

Has anybody figured out how the rewind function works in terms of length/distance?

I could be wrong or talking about previous versions of the game but I believe it’s 5 seconds per rewind. This would explain the disparity in distance you are seeing as you cover alot more ground in 5 seconds at 200mph than you do at 50mph.

It then gives you a maximum of 5 rewinds so in total you can rewind back approx 25 seconds before it brings you to a halt.

I think it depends where on the track you are. If you are on a long sweeping bend or a series of technical corners, it seems to rewind you further back than usual.
It doesn’t seem to want to restart in the middle of a corner. I’m guessing there are certian trigger points in the track that the game will rewind back to.
Sometimes it seems to take you back miles before the corner.

It would be better if you just held the button to where you want it to resume.

That is definitly not true, you can rewind back much further than 25 seconds, you can rewind back several minutes.
Not sure what the actual limit is but it does run out eventually.

I think the game sets a rewind marker at a specified time interval and only remembers the most recent markers. How many markers, I’m not sure. When you hit the rewind button you’ll go back to the nearest marker.
