was thinkin bout this before while in a race and was wondering how much of a difference the lap records are between hotlap WR's and track records..

I think it depends on the track, on some tracks u can straighten some corners online, wich u can't in HLVC

and draft too

so thats... when on multiplayer
you can go faster with help (if your not in lead obviously)
and you can cut corners pretty well

downside: when on multiplayer; you have about a 1% chance or less of being able to recreate a lap exactly the same, whereas in hotlapping you can, because there arent any variables except the ones you create (like sliding)

yeah, when ya think bout it, in F1's, touring cars and such, there are lap records instead of WR's.. and within those times, there are slip streaming and all..
