@PBR3491Would be good to know for that case if Russel had used ERS, if he did then the 305 are totally fine, considering he might have a more slippery car that is possibly a few kph + ERS is 10kph more on many straights too so being 5 slower could be fine, just depends on the exact circumstances
But definitely give more feedback from your next race, ideally multiple instances so we can analyse the situation better 🙂
The AI seems to use weird burst of ERS in a chaotic fashion if they are not going for an overtake, like on/off in rapid random sucession.
- Meza9943 years agoSeasoned Ace@PBR3491 Yeah its not well programmed when to use it for them, i doubt that this gives them a straightline speed boost but would take testing to say that for sure
- ScarDuck143 years agoLegend@Meza994 Think it was when Kers was a thing that used to be the meta. And I still deploy on and off on the straights occasionally and I havnt tested it properly but it feels just as fast a prolonged bursts

I use the same tactic but only out of corners or when shifting into 8 gear for a bit more momentum, but they just turn it on/off.
Did 2 races: Miami, Imola (partly rain)
In Miami i was equally fast on the straights, i have no idea whats the difference, again no change to the setup. In fact Charles was slower in the straights 2-3kph.Imola: Rain race and i love Imola, so they stood no chance anyway. But in the first few laps they definitely had an edge again but that is 100% due to my setup.
Maybe its just Melbourne or i had a fault that my engineer did not tell me? I have to try melbourne again (next season or start a new season at least)
Will come back to you.
