Oh, that's more like it
After restarting my MyTeam over and over again, I just had my most entertaining race in this year's game. They actually managed to fix the AI! I had an epic battle for a point in a race that had me ...

I always do the same with regards to interview questions. I want to start at the bottom of the pile and that’s it. Only thing I’ve found this year though it that it is super tough to actually catch up with the development of the other cars. I’m 6-7 races in now and I’m still the slowest team. This is going to be a hard slog.

@Johnboy1983 similar to you and @ScarDuck14, I like to start at the bottom and actively nerf myself to keep it challenging.
I’m yet to start a proper MyTeam season, but in previous games I found that somewhere between the middle to the end of the 2nd season, the MyTeam car really becomes easy to top out in performance and it’s very easy to smash the opposition.
I would be interested to hear your experiences as you progress through the rest of your season and into the next.
- @Monzstar83 Yup I’ve yet to finish season. Yet done over a hundred hours in my team. Think I few more patches before I start a serious career
Tbh I hardly EVER finish a full season of anything. Il play religiously when it comes out, then other things appear in my want list, recently Final Fantasy 16, which has got me back into FF14, F1 manager has obviously just come out too which I’m heavily invested in (already at Singapore in my first season), so it’s kinda on the back burner now. Then by the time I get back to it; more patches and fixes are your, better performance index for the teams, so I start again, and so it continues. I feel I’m always missing out on the best of my team, because I never play it for more than 15-16 races.
perhaps I need to stop playing 100% races….

As you know, there’s just too much “work” involved to keep it interesting/challenging. I find once you start doing MT seasons (and with nothing new to keep it fresh in this release), I will lose interest in the game really quickly.
The new handling model has helped because I’m keeping myself entertained with defining base setups in TT. I’m just apprehensive to pull the trigger and do MT because of the above… I really want to have a good experience right off the bat (set a good AI level, figure out the financing etc) and avoid the “work”, because it’s get boring really fast.
I’m currently 80-85 so, certain tracks that’s too low maybe but I used to be on 95-100 on 22.
handling on the pad is so much better so you’d think I’d be a bit faster but…
have you found you’ve had to turn the difficulty down this year?
@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.
