Re: f1 23 - gears issue
@atfmarko I believe that the Mercedes gearbox cars (Mercedes, Aston and Williams) all have that problem. The Mercedes gearbox is indeed shorter in revs compared to the other gearboxes. They reach the 13000rpm much faster than others.

In this video though, you can see that both the Aston and the Mercedes get to eight gear first than the Ferrari and Red bull and the top speed ends up being less. What is unrealistic in the game, is how fast they actually reach the 13000rpm, making it cap the top speed when you reach half the straight. And this problem will be even bigger when you advance trough the seasons, because you develop your car in a way that you reach top speed even faster, but the gearbox can't go along that speed.
So, the game is spot on in the fact that the Mercedes gearbox has shorter revs, but I don't believe it's right about how fast they actually reach it.
