Re: F1 23 Rev Limiter - LIMITS TOP SPEED ON LOW DOWNFORCE

I understand that they are the slowest cars on the grid, but their top speed is not limited by their drag profile but their gear ratios instead. For those who play career mode, all the drag upgrades will have no effect on increasing the top speed for these cars, due to the fact these three cars have a limited top speed due to the gear ratio. The mclaren is also Mercedes powered but is able to reach 360kph (9kph more than all other Mercedes powered cars) without hitting its gear ratio which is why I believe this to be a mistake on the other three mercedes powered cars.

I have just tested the brakingpoint and my team and each of these cars share the same issue. For the my team car this will only appear when using the Mercedes which has a rev limit of 351 kph. All other engines have a rev limit of 366kph meaning once significant progression has been made into a career save, all mercedes powered cars, except mclaren, will have a severe top speed deficit (15kph), which all other cars will not have, whist having similar drag and power values. 

Mercedes has the slowest top speed as a function of their higher final gear ratio; mclaren make their own gearbox with a lower final gear ratio giving them a higher top speed.

This is a real world representation; it would be good if Codemasters included an option to build your own gearbox like we can with the durability and power upgrades.
