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.

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.

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! 🙂
- @Meza994 Thanks, I will keep an eye out for the RPM.
