Official F2 Series Part 2 - Spain - AI Broken

Product: F1 24
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
Summarize your bug The AI in F2 at Spain in F1 World is impossible fast. They are doing close to WR TT times in qualifying in the Official F2 Series Part 2 race at Spain in F1 World. I've set the tech modfier to 0 and the difficulty is 35% (locked in game). Its impossible to catch the top 10, even harder to actually win it. Ive done other F2 races in the F1 World - F2 series, and can beat the AI by 2-7 seconds in qualifying. Somethings wrong in this quali/race. On my very best attempt in quali, I was 1.2 seconds slower than the AI, finished P22. Time: 1.23.681. Cannot progress in this series cause its impossible to beat.
What is your 16 digit Report Code? -
What peripherals are you using? Please list the exact make and model. Fanatec DD1, V3 Pedals
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? -
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single Player
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load up the Official F2 Series Part 2 in F1 World, do qualifying and 5 lap race. AI will be impossible quick.
What happens when the bug occurs? AI sets world records on low, LOW difficulty. And have incredible pace in qualifying and race.
What do you expect to see? Normal AI pace matching the difficulty its set to.

@DRudd13 So basically its come down to this:
If your tech level in the F2 event is below 680 (or so), the AI is set to 110 difficulty.
First screenshot: The AI in the Official F2 series 2 race at Spain set to 35 difficulty, 760 tech level with 0 added tech level.
Second screenshot: The official F2 cars at Spain with the same qualifying, racing conditions and difficulty set to 110 (tech level not available).

They do pretty much identical times in qualifying...

* More further down *
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, here comes the confusing part.

If your F1 World cars tech level goes beyond 700 (mine was 703 at this point here), the AI in the Official F2 series 2 becomes slower and is possible to beat again.
Just did the qualifying and race and was beyond puzzled as I did a "slow" qualifying, still came P1 and won the race with ease.

Screens below...
First: Qualifying with slow/bad lap, P1
Second: Race result without any trouble or need to push hard.
So why on earth does the AI become slower in F2 races just because the players F1 World car becomes quicker???????? Hello????

@Phoenixx-90 First, kudos for the amount of detail you have gone into. I can't argue about your findings, either.

I've just been working out what level below I can complete the set goals on. F1 world car I'm now 240 below their tech level and I complete the main goals, finish position and fastest lap. But official F1/F2 cars are only 80 below.

I have no idea why they become slower, as I'm not privy to EA/CM calculations. Maybe it's just easier for them to programme it that way?

@DRudd13 Haha appreciate that, I have a habit of doing overly detailed research on stuff, and this game is no exception.

Its just really frustrating that a race category (Official F2 in this case) is based on numbers related to a fictional F1 World car which you can upgrade to become a monster of a machine.
But as you upgrade your F1 car, then the AI becomes scared and is like "fine just take the win". xD
I will definitely keep an eye out for more interesting (read: frustrating xD) findings in the future.
On your last point, if its easier to programme it that way, thats just incredible weird and lazy if so. It just doesnt make any sense.

I guess I can check this as solved, though its frustrating to have to grind and grind "normal" races and stuff to upgrade a F1 World car to race with F2 cars against AI in F2 cars.
At least now I can finally progress and unlock more F1 events in the 'series' tab of F1 World.
