@AquaOrenji glad you had a good experience with the AI. If you can, I’d be interested to know what level you set your AI level for the race compared to the suggested AI on F1 laps: https://www.f1laps.com/ai-difficulty-calculator/.

I’m currently working my way through all the tracks on TT, to figure out what AI level I should use for each track, and will start a MyTeam season once done with this - would be keen to know what level you used compared to this to see if I should make any adjustments.

I can maybe give it a go for a few laps later after I get thru with my BG3 fix. Though I'm kinda skeptical about f1laps' ability to translate time trial performance to career difficulty. I remember going on there early in the game's release--Imola, in fact--and it spitting out that I should be low 80's when I was already clubbing the AI at 95. With the new update and better AI, I'm pretty comfortable in the low 100's. I suppose I'm curious if the algorithm has improved in the six weeks since.

@AquaOrenji Thanks for the info. I’d appreciate it if you could give it a shot - no rush. I did start a MT career before on the last patch, did a few races. IIRC based on my best TT time at Bahrain, it gave me a 101 AI, which was roughly right. 

Since the new patch I decided to get together a base setup at each track that felt comfortable and see the best time I could get with it. It’s now giving me a 106 for Bahrain - and my lap time is now around 0.3s faster on the new patch.Unfortunately I didn’t keep a record of the previous AI levels suggested by F1 laps on the last patch and I don’t know if they’ve updated their calculator for the new patch. But more than that, because you mentioned you lowered your difficulty for a good AI experience, I’m wondering if I should do the same with what it suggests.

Sorry for the delay! Monaco was up next and I needed to focus on that. Finally did some laps at Imola; stole the setup from the top guy like I usually do. Wound up doing a 1:15.131 which put me at 103 on f1 Laps. Surprised as that's exactly the median of my AI range. Tbf though, my previous best was set while I was still in "Career" mentality where I try to drive more comfortably and to my personal style, and that had me at a 95--so still 10ish below what I typically drive in MyTeam. That's why I feel that if you just drive normal then whatever you set in F1 Laps, you can just add 10+ to in Career mode because you're not driving with a hotlapper mentality in a Career race, much less with an extreme-meta hotlap setup that isn't necessarily tailored to you. F1 Laps underestimates your potential.

@AquaOrenji cheers - some useful info there. I’m fairly consistent with my lap times so even driving comfortably I can get to about between 2-5 tenths of my best. So I’ll build an average like that into the lap times I enter into F1 Laps to get a more reasonable idea and adjust from there 🖖🏽
