Road Atlanta - Inaccurate laptime prediction

As of update 13, the predicted laptimes (shown in the fuel and tire menu) are inaccurate at Road Atlanta. With this, the expected laps from the Featured Race are also incorrect.
Game mode doesn’t matter.


Featured Multiplayer - Multiclass series (ABCS)
C500 BMW 323ti Sport (2000)

Fastest lap from Qualifying:


Free Play - Test drive (rubber at 75%, midnight)
C500 Ford Escort RS Cosworth (1992)

The first lap (standing start):

First flying lap (lap 2):


I’m experiencing this on PC (windows store version).
Please fix this as this will lead to incorrect fuel load selections and unplanned pit stops during the race.

I would like to say it’s my amazing racing skills, but beating the expected laptime by over 12 seconds, or over 7 seconds for a lap with standing start, is a bit too much.

The telemetry lap time predictions in this game have been woefully inaccurate at every track. We were testing the McLaren MP4/4 at the Sunset Peninsula oval yesterday and it predicted a 17 second lap time. That’s a 516mph lap speed.

For me most tracks seem fine, they’re off by 2-3 seconds, but that’s consistent across all of them besides Road Atlanta now.
I haven’t tried SunPen oval yet, but that’s some crazy speeds… Are there any other tracks where there’s a real big difference for you?

I’ve seen a ton of tracks where it thinks the lap time is 30 seconds longer than it actually is. Usually ovals tbh.
