Slipstream of 4 spaces with soft tires

Hi,

Is it usual that, when we race with soft tires, we can get a slipstream of 4 spaces ?

If so, what is the exact rule ? I have seen some cases where only 3 spaces were allowed, but other times 4.

Anyway I can't find anything related to this extra space with soft tires in the rulebook, neither in french nor in english, so can it just be a glitch ?

Thanks for your help !

Both soft tires and slipstream are optional moves, and you can take soft tire bonus then slipstream, or slipstream then soft tire bonus. If the move until being behind the other car requires soft tire bonus, because you can't apply it twice, the slipstream move will be only 3 spaces.
