AI are way too fast on the straights
So we’re back to the old problem of the AI not being affected by drag or aero or having unlimited ERS, or a combination of all three.

@tn132Weight and drag reduction upgrades give better top end speed compared to power: If your behind in either or both off those against other cars. You could be top off power train and they will still fly past.
Weight reduction gives best bang for buck. As less weight results in be quicker in slower corners and improves acceleration out off corners plus slight increase in top speed. Drag reduction will greatly improve top end speed as well as acceleration through mid and high ranges.
Always best to prioritise weight and drag reduction. Only power train upgrades that are worth doing will be ERS until you’ve made good progress with aero and weight
Ive just started a career with Williams and car power wise starts almost on par with other teams. Whereas weight and aero are way way behind top 4 or 5 teams.
Also when upgrading front or rear downforce: look to upgrade the parts that don’t have negative effects on drag. Front and rear downforce upgrades otherwise increase drag and so reduces top speed
@ScarDuck14 Your teammate blows past you in Grand Prix mode too, regardless of car, so its not an upgrades issue.
- @dmXDDD Career modes and GP game mechanics are not like for like. Only have to browse the bug boards to see on track gameplay bugs that you would expect to be issues in career and GP. Often only effect one or the other.
Regardless wasn’t saying Ai speed wasn’t OP. Was saying you get more speed from drag and weight reduction. Less drag needs less power to reach top end speed. Less weight also needs less power accelerating which also helps getting all the power down easier and faster.
Heavier and less aero efficient a car increasingly diminishes the effect of add power.- @ScarDuck14 sure, but then it doesnt matter what upgrades you make, the AI is still going to beat you on straights regardless, just have to hope they fix it in the next couple patches before they lose interest and start making bugs to put in F1 25
- @dmXDDD Making? They don’t need to. Majority off same bugs from this and past games always make it to the next game
