That's right — when I couldn't see any cars approaching in the rearview mirror, the moment the blue flag was waved, the cars ahead in my group couldn’t wait to lift off the throttle. Again and again, I found myself inexplicably climbing from 16th to 3rd place. Then the race ended, but I felt no joy. My lap times were actually on par with theirs — it should have been an intense battle. But because of the blue flag, it was as if they were all driving while distracted, unwilling to truly race against me.

 

Just to clarify, you are referring to cars "ahead" that are actually almost a lap or more down? Or are cars you are racing directly responding to blue flags they shouldn't be receiving because they are ahead of you?

 

No, it's for cars on the same lap too, as soon as there is a blue flag condition they slow down, even if the faster car approaching is 3-8 cars behind

 

So, the wrong cars are responding to blue flags, and the response to blue flags is also too severe.

Expected blue flag behaviour also varies from one series (and time period) to the next...not sure if Reiza can program these differences and, if so, are they controlled by the presets? But the basic problems should be sorted soon as cars on the same lap slowing for blue flags would mean they are being signalled in error.
