We use a short superpole qualifying in our league to make sure everyone gets only one shot at it, and lately we are having an issue when the game puts us on the track. The AI slows down dramatically for everyone and even steers off the circuit in most cases, like if it would try to avoid the other cars. I think this feature was working fine in earlier days. (Also related: web-based radar apps show other cars around you even during superpole qualys which can be extremely annoying as well, especially when multiple people start the lap at the same time).
