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.

Community ManagerHey everyone,
I've moved some further posts into this existing thread about it.
The team has looked into this, but couldn't properly reproduce an issue with the AI speed on straights. Could you all please provide some more specific details of when and where this happens, as well as what your AI difficulty is set at? Thanks!

I qualified 2nd at Canada during a Challenge Career mode (Alonso).It was wet on Medium tires. No DRS allowed. I could not defend against Norris with me using ERS on Hotlap mode and pushing Overtake. He passed me like nothing. This is just one example of many others as to how unbalanced AI speeds on straights are. See video below.

Moza wheel ,base. and pedals.Considering how you hit the rev limiter (14k rpm) and always stay above 12k rpm, the first making you lose any acceleration - the car cant gain any speed past the rev limiter so you need to shift earlier and the latter restricts your acceleration as well as above 12k rpm the power output of your engine declines, ideally you want to stay within 10.5k rpm and 13k at worst.
@Parov The AI do use hotlap mode, you can watch their battery drain at qualifying laps. However it might be the AI use a lower wing setup than you did? Same reason why F1 teams dont use the best single lap setup but compromise for tyre wear, raceability, not being defenseless on the straights etc. But could also be a track specific thing. Anyway they do use ERS in quali! 🙂
@GCAdventureHow you say Norris used his ERS is exactly how I use it and I can not only keep up with them but pass them. Ai 100. I switch to overtake coming out off the corner then tap overtake on and off for about half to one second intervals
- @Meza994 Thanks, I will keep an eye out for the RPM.
- @ScarDuck14 Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try.
- @GCAdventure is ai speed is fixed on straightline?
- @superfastish7 NO. What these people suggest did not help at all. Shifting around 10k RPM makes it even slower, and it contradicts what the beep notification giving by the game assist does.
- @GCAdventure I didnt advice you to shift at 10k rpm but to stay within 10.5 and 13k so at the very latest shift at 13k
From my side, this bug is always there.
- @Juju_59320 same in Straight line Lance Stroll verstappen same speed so stupid they are... they just need to watch F1 20 or 21 so simple man! worst car should have low top speed or different setups... different team different setups,,, but here their logic in F1 24 is EVERY car speed in Straight line is same.. .This developers are way too poor to fix it
- @superfastish7 Why dont you watch the top speed test done by Jarno Opmeer? The cars have different speeds
this years AI are the worst in years they are way to fast on straights have way to much traction never make a mistake they drive into you like you dont exsist this game has turned into pure garbage yes the base game could be amazing if the developers would just a little bit of pride into their games and fix something anything at this point i have gone back to f1 23 because this years game is just not fun or exciting and has 1 of the worst AI i think i have ever seen in ANY racing game ive played if your plan is to butcher this game like you do evey other title you have ever touched please let someone else develop it and quit destroying the 1 game i used to enjoy
