I ran two short races at Silverstone, one on Dry and one on Very Wet.
I drove a Ferrari on Dry and barely managed to defend second place from Piastri. Norris couldn't keep up, finishing over three seconds behind.
While it's similar to real-world racing, I didn't struggle this much on difficulty 88.
I had a bit more trouble keeping up, and the car behind me easily caught up.
In Very Wet, I was over 1.5 seconds behind on each lap.
I don't think this is simply a problem with the AI Wet race.
The wet racing feels awful. It's just too slippery.
I dislike wet racing, but F1 23's wet racing feels great and I didn't struggle.
I don't think the AI needs to fix wet racing; the wet racing physics model itself is flawed. Even on wet tires, it feels like I'm on slicks.
For reference, at other circuits like Brazil and Miami, I felt the AI's exit speed was slower in some low-speed corners. However, at Silverstone, which doesn't have any low-speed corners, Silverstone feels a little different, as others have said.
In GP mode the car in the wet even with full TC is like riding rodeo on a hyper caffeinated squirrel.
In my team the car is less squirrelly than in GP mode (at my level of development) BUT is painfully slow when using full TC. Up to 2 seconds a lap depending on track.
The AI still have incredible 3rd gear acceleration in the dry but are harder to divebomb.
Silverstone in the dry I had to decrease AI by 5 to be competitive again.
