Race AI Needs Significant Improvement at Higher Difficulties

Hello everyone,

In my opinion, the AI is unfortunately too weak, especially during races. I play on AI level 110, and in qualifying my pace roughly matches the performance level of the car. However, in races I regularly end up fighting for podiums in a Haas, and in Canada I even managed to win the race.

I get the impression that the AI uses ERS effectively in qualifying but is far too conservative with it during races. Overall, I think it's worth asking why the AI difficulty isn't calibrated against esports-level pace. In my view, AI 110 should be capable of matching the lap times of top esports drivers.

As it stands, it takes away a lot of the challenge, and unfortunately I don't find Career Mode particularly enjoyable or meaningful to play.

BTW, the Williams is far too strong. It regularly finishes in the top six, which obviously doesn't reflect its current real-world performance level and doesn't seem intended from a balance perspective.

Best regards,
