Weaving on the straight

I was under the impression that AC only gives you slipstream effect when at 0.5s or lower, pretty sure I read this somewhere a few years ago on the official forum and since then my experience has seemed to align with this theory, though that could be confirmation bias ofc Smile

When I am more than 0.5 behind I don’t even bother lining up with the car ahead as I just assume there is no benefit and I have never felt this hinder my performance.

I used to think the same, last season i have done a couple of races on the Nord (1h) and noticed it does give you a tow from far behind, which should be the case as slipstream can be huge at high speed. On the video i posted, i would never reach 260 normally at this point of the straight without the beemer's tow, even less 290 downhill. On regular tracks i don't bother before 1s either.
