AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights
It’s like they have DRS the whole race
Forum Discussion
One thing I've noticed is that on the straights the AI is rapid, is this a glitch (I've heard the ai has something similar to infinite ers or something) or is it as intended? (This was based on the GP mode with the Ferrari car)
@LittleAmigoBrit I did several tests when exiting a bend followed by a long straight line with all the cars and with tc or without tc, the problem is that the AI on the acceleration will be at full speed whereas we are human without tc we have to dose the acceleration otherwise the car will spin and with tc the help will ensure that the car does not spin so will do:
acceleration, no acceleration, acceleration, no acceleration, acceleration, no acceleration and that over a second to a second and a half (it's huge in F1) when the AI will be in constant acceleration and will not lose the car, suddenly with any stable will have better acceleration.
I tested with ferrari and red bull against williams, aston martin, mclaren in a lap without drs with a 1.5 second gap or even 2 seconds, I catch myself directly out of a turn, I defend myself with the ers to count on my max speed, but except that after a while I have no more ers, but the ai seems to have ers at infinity suddenly I get doubled.
I qualify for example 5th I finish 10th or even more and that has almost all the races.
Usually I play at 79-80 then I'm at 69 and I still think it's gone down otherwise it's not realistic.

Experiencing this as well. Playing Bahrain at 95AI. No assists and driving as Sergio Perez in GP mode. With DRS and ERS engaged I can barely get by another car on the front straight. Something just seems out of whack. I thought Red Bull had a straight line speed advantage and yet I can't get passed a Mercedes no matter how perfect I exit the last corner. I have to out brake them into turn one and the AI turns into me all the time unless I have a wheel ahead of them. It's like they have zero awareness that you are along side.
I tried the top speed preset and still struggled to get by with DRS and ERS.
Mainly I've been using TRL's setup but lowered the on throttle diff to avoid spinning on corner exits. I even lowered the front and rear wings by 4 each and did not gain any top speed advantage.
My other gripe is new tires feel like I'm driving in the wet. 20-30% throttle will spin me out. I can barely get through turn 1 and 2 at Bahrain coming out of the pits and I lose the race every time on my out lap.
- @Hansenhaus I ran 5-7 wings at Bahrain and they still gapped me
I forgot to specify, I only play in pilot career, no my team for me I expect F1 m***ger for that xD
I’ve just started another my team career but this time as I chose Renault a started as a mid team but as I suspected I’m same starting rank as I am as a newcomer when picking redbull down in 8th in team rankings just above McLaren
And obviously can’t directly compare my team car has a few extra starting upgrades but I assume so have the ai teams.
So I find it bizarre Just done race pace on medium in fp2 and finished top beating second place Perez by a tenth and he had softs fitted…. whereas as a newcomer it’s normally 12th -18th
My brain is freaking out: it doesn’t fair well when it can’t find a pattern:, gunna be 🤪 night- @ScarDuck14 I feel u mate these games can do your head in
I’m on a pad and use TC and I still have this issue, it’s not to do with TC
Basically engine is delivering to much torque through gears 1-4/5 esp for pad users. Tc off means power is wasted due to wheels spinning as it’s almost impossible with so little travel on the throttle. Even with 100% linearity. With tc on, means power is wasted as it’s reduced to stop wheels spinning. Once the torque update comes out. Both issues will be dramatically improved. However apparently update won’t be here until mid August 😡
Also med tc will be unpredictable and you may find unpredictable rear end snapping.
