Went to the Ring gain yesterday and experienced a loss of power halfway in the lap on a flat out bit... ST just wouldnt go above 110mph Suppose that's the overboost cutting out?
To be seen starting at 5:24 in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8eYIg74OdA

Yep definately felt like something was holding it back

Did 120-130 earlier in the lap so no issue there, nor on my topspeed runs on the autobahn
