Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You could test the cars on realistic performance yourself, or watch the video tagged below by two time Esports Champion Jarno Opmeer as he tests every cars top speed, as well as the screenshot i added of his results testing the cars. Take note of the Aston Martin, Mercedes and Williams compared to everything else. As those 3 cars all max out at 351 kph very early on the straight bouncing off the rev limiter. Compared to everything else that has longer gears and thus has a much higher top end.
What happens when the bug occurs? It happens in every mode online or offline. Certain cars are limited by gear ratio, and it's not accurate on your part.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the gear ratio lengthened to allow those cars to be closer to the others. ASAP would be great, but realistically due to the state of the game i don't expect to see it until the upcoming performance patch.
Maybe make their gears just as long as the others, but maybe as a balance to get them to as accurate a top speed as possible, you could increase the drag on both the aston martin and the mercedes while increasing the ratio for the williams? Aston Martin officials have said all season they have a draggy car. Mercedes also had a drag issue, but they have since improved it and increased their top end with upgrades this year. which puts them marginally faster than the aston martin down a straight. According to mercedes team officials in their video installments they do after every weekend they have said to of seen a 7kph increase in straightline speed, which is roughly 4.3mph.
As for williams, they have always had a car that has been fast in a straightline. And yet in the game they are one of the slowest and have been since 2018. Whereas in real life most times they have been a couple of KPH slower than the redbull on straights, on some occasions they have been faster than the redbull on straights. So i would expect them to see a serious improvement in top speed. They should be reaching roughly the same speeds if not atleast 362kph at max velocity like most of the midfield, if not marginally faster, to be somewhere between 362kph to 366kph between the midfield and the alpine/redbull which are fastest in a straightline.
