Theoretical best time

Recommended Posts

I thought from previous posts that the theoretical best time is the fastest sectors added together? 

I'm currently holding all fastest sector times and have set the fastest lap of the weekend in q3. Yet the theoretical best is now showing a time 4 tenths quicker. How is this calculated?

I think it's because it adds up the fastest sector times from any lap of any car that session, not just the times you see in the standings. For example if an AI did a lap with a great first sector but messed up sector 2 and 3, the TB will use the first sector from that slow lap for the theoretical time, even if that same AI car improved their best lap time later by not messing up S2 but had a slower first sector that lap,

So the fastest sector times you see in the standings are not always showing the actual fastest sector times from the session ; you should be able to find them in the race director. At least I think it works like that! :)
