Check brake temps and tire pressure differences between P and R sessions. In R, you get pre-warmed equipment with harder tires and already hot brakes. This would explain the changes you are noticing. Harder tires is obvious. But some of the cars have very sensitive brakes that lock-up more easily when they are warm/hot...maybe a bit too much? They don't have to be that hot for this to occur and I am not sure that is realistic. I would expect premature lock-up only when the brakes are exceptionally hot or overheating.

How do you know that you get harder tires in race?

Is there some way to tell precisely when this transition occurs? Most games deprecate graphics when FPS gets too low, so it is easy to visibly see what and when something is happening. Is it lack of VRAM or RAM or FPS or some combination that triggered this in PC 2? It will be difficult to test on many systems if we do not know how to force it to happen or cannot gauge exactly when it is happening.

It happens immediately after more than 12 AI are used and is noticeable in every hard braking zone, mainly because the FFB looks like this:

Here I was experimenting with fully inflated tyres, but the behaviour happens no matter what the tyre pressure are. There is no simultaneous drop in frame rate that I can notice.

Great. This is hopefully a reliable indicator that we can all see if we try to push our systems past their limits.
