@LuckyNico92 Its depending on the gearbox, not the engine, thats why McLaren has different gear ratios in F1 23.. And this will most likely not matter anymore with F1 24 as they increased the revv limiter afaik which makes the teams able to reach higher speeds - which they should never reach anyway as they prefer downforce over useless topspeed for maximum 5 seconds..

Cars with a Merc gearbox will NOT be limited to 350kph in F1 24.

@Someone22lickitt Then how do you explain Mercedes, the works team that supplies Williams and Aston Martin, having a top speed of 350 KPH, while the Red Bull goes 370 KPH?

If anything, all the top class teams like Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes should go faster than the lower teams. But since F1 23, the top speed depends on the engine the official teams use, and Mercedes has the lowest and Red Bull the highest, and there's no option to change the gearing, and EA SPORTS refuses to give us this option, and this in turn renders all Mercedes powered teams sans McLaren (for whatever reason) completely useless and unviable for winning championships unless the chassis and aero upgrades make it dominant.

Also, I'm not asking for equal performance, this ain't F2. I'm just asking for equal top speed for all teams. Imagine you want to participate in league racing and no other cars than the Mercedes powered ones are available. Why do you think that's the case? Exactly, because no one wants them because their low top speed makes them unviable in many, many scenarios.

@Meza994 I hope so. That absolutely peeved me when I played Two Player Career with Mercedes.

Can we also add all nations flags? I don’t see how hard this is - there are loads of random countries, why not just have them all or at least a wider selection
