Is the AI straight line speed "bug" back?

@tn132 Would be helpfull to know what setup you are using especially the wing settings because when i just did a test race at Jeddah with equal cars the AI would gain on me on the straights as long as they are in my slipstream as slipstream this year is very strong and gets ever stronger the closer you are. However once they fought themselfes so hard that i got out of the 1-1.5s window in which dirty air works in the game (sadly only this short) they didnt gain anything on me on the straights, didnt need to use overtake at all to keep the gap the same and always observed the gap, besides slight fluctuations because of a bad exit or good exit there wasnt anything!

If anything then the problem is the strength of the slipstream which is almost realistic if close by, just too short, however the dirty air/downforce loss is much weaker than IRL probably only 50% and instead of making the car understeery as its always said to be like it makes the cars just lose downforce so that the rear end gets less planted, making it more difficult for players to get the power down however AI is never as bad at traction as the player, they are trained to go to the limit without going over it (90% of the time) so the AI can follow close to the player without getting too many bad exits but has then the advantage of very close slipstream which can easily make them 10 kph faster if they are really close.

Regarding a car in front especially at Qatar id need to now your setup as the AI would use something around balanced setup however most players and especially in TT use higher downforce (as its faster on this track) but therefore would be a lot slower on the straight vs medium downforce AI. Also the DRS gets less effective for some reason the more downforce you put on - the opposite of real life
