Doesn't this prove the issue?
"Ooshima, tailgate car #13, use the car in front to set the fastest lap time."
The Toyota Team immediately issued another directive; since they've been overtaken, they might as well tailgate.
"Received."
This time Ooshima Kazuya replied without hesitation; he was already prepared to tailgate.
The faster Chen Xiangbei drives, the faster he will go as well!
Four race cars lined up like a long serpent, linked together as they sped down the track. Soon, Chen Xiangbei's lap time emerged: 2 minutes 07.987 seconds.
This time was about three seconds slower than his fastest solo lap but was a very normal lap time.
The reason is that in a real race, it's difficult to have an ideal track environment for setting lap records. Especially during the first few laps, when tire temperatures and fuel weight affect performance, it typically results in one of the slowest lap times of the race.
