Rubber banding is the biggest issue

@tn132  Yes, I would agree. Totally ruins to single player experience as you can easily win at most tracks as long as you qualify in the top 10 or so. Just stick with the lead pack using DRS to work your way up to second, then wait until the last lap and jump the guy in the lead.

only real exceptions are tracks like Miami and Suzuka where the AI seem to be able to abuse whatever it is giving them the straight line speed boost the most.

I’m hoping there will be a meaty patch next week for the start of season 2 that will fix a lot of things… but I’ve also been playing the franchise for long enough to know better than to get my hopes up to high lol.

@tn132All racing games unfortunately have some kind off rubber banding…. Previous F1 games it was subtle but last year or so it’s been cranked up. F1 games though just shouldn’t have it. But problem I imagine is without it. Could lead to races exactly like IRL where we could spend multiple races not seeing another car…

Ive always found it get worse the better your doing.  For instance if you’re in a bottom ranked car but racing for a podium position.    Or you consistently finish in a top ten position in said bottom ranked car.   

That's not rubber banding.

The AI is just terrible. The dev just gave them a mario kart speed boost instead of fixing their cornering speed.
