Actually I've noticed the same things. I thought I saw he pack braking
once at the chicane, but it never happened again, and the cars
definetly fly through that turn at unnatural speeds. I think you're
right about the cause, hopefully someone can hack the track files a
bit more and find such a variable.

Same here, kudos to EA for writing a good install program!
