AI are way too fast on the straights

I don't know exactly, at the same time I saw some videos by other Youtubers and everyone complains about that

Mostly i use a Balanced way of using the Overtake i try getting to 310-320 Max when theyre behind me on a straight.

It definitely needs looking into. I can have full battery deployment and use overtake and the AI bolt out of corners like bullet and continue the overpowered onslaught down the straights!

F122 was exactly the same.

F123 was perfect in this regard.

Please look into this EA.

Same here. I don't know about 22 and 23, I used to play 20 till now, but it was far more balanced than this. At 60 difficulty, with no assists, they just breeze past me at straigths, like it was nothing (although I have the fastest car at the R&D screen.) Usually in pairs. I have no problem qualifying in first, that's why I dropped the difficulty so much, to be able to start from pole, until I get used to the new tracks and stuff. But I found that at some places I can only keep the AI behind me on straights, if I lower the front wing to ridiculous amounts. 0, mostly...

Could this be  a career mode issue? Never seen it in grand prix mode. Ai are quicker in qualifying than race in my experience on that. They do like to use ers on exits but if you do the same there is no issue

The AI are way too fast on the straights. They seem to get unreal traction out of slow speed corners and have extra ERS or something because I'm routinely losing like half a second on the straights and that's after going with a really aggressive top speed focused setup.

You dont need a aggressive Top speed setup i recommend something where you come always good out of corners to have a gap of at least 0,7 then you can defend yourself always. Before the Patch i could drive even with low downforce setups but now i dont recommend it

@hartag88I don't know mate, I used to play countless seasons of 100% race distance races without restarts on F1 20. And it was fine. Here not only do I have to restart, I have to constantly use mid session save to somehow stay ahead at straights. And this is on 60 AI difficulty with the fastest car. I used to play much higher in the old one... (I think I got used to the new ERS system by now, I know where to charge and when to use overtake, but it's just a constant struggle.)

Hey everyone,

I've merged some posts into this thread and also moved it to our Technical Issues & Bug Reports section. I've passed it along to the team as well to look into what's going on here. As usual, it would be helpful if you could provide as many details as possible. Like, does this in fact only happen in career mode? What is your AI difficulty set at?

I’ve had this happen in career & Grand Prix mode. I race at 75.
