@2c1d87b2ccb12978 Might be ERS reducing the power output you get above 300kph in addition with running too low ride height which would reduce your speed due to scraping on the track surface too hard.

To test that run race fuel in practice for example, if its the same problem then you know its due to more weight pushing the car down.

Try in the race hotlap mode and overtake mode for the ERS, if the same problem accurs then you know its not ERS related.

Try running higher ride height, if it still happens they need to look into it.

@Meza994 @2c1d87b2ccb12978 I have been having this problem across a variety of tracks in career and in time trial. It looks like it started under version 1.6. I have included a png file of part of a spreadsheet generated from Iko Rein's telemetry software. This is data from the last long straight at Miami. It shows the car at 100% throttle in 7th gear and suddenly the brakes come on slightly - while I am still at 100% throttle. The brake percentage increases to 5% as I shift up to 8th, and the brake percentage falls back under 5%. My speed is at 287kph where it stays despite still being at 100% throttle. I cross the DRS line and engage it - and now the speed slowly begins increase again. As I approach 292 kph the brake percentage jumps to 5% and the DRS disengages. The brake percentage now continues to increase reaching into the teens. Note the far right column says I am still in the DRS zone. The revs start to fall eventually get under 7800 while in 8th (not on the part of the spreadsheet in the png). The other track where I match up with you in having the same experience is China - in the last long straight - but I have also experienced this in the last straight that crosses the finish line.

Is what I described above similar to what you have been experiencing?

One other note - currently have been having difficulty with Spa - and have a couple of lap spreadsheets showing the same thing.
