AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights
It’s like they have DRS the whole race
Forum Discussion
@gizt7 From the testing I did, the isssue seems to be around myteam mode and the myteam car, we did some testing in a discord group where I'm part of and the results where pretty clear:
-In GP mode and career mode, the AI seems fine and balanced, and we never had an issue not explained by either bad setup, user issue or too agressive TC
-However, we had no explanation for slow speed in myteam, and players complaining about it in myteam had no issue with speed in GP and career mode
-Also, fast players who only played gp and career and never had a straight line speed issue, noticed the issue when they tried a Myteam session, all 3 types of start, with the fastest possible engine and upgrades for a myteam start, with a 1 second average pace deficit.
-Myself I noticed the issue, and also noticed that with a midfield Myteam car, I was slower than in a Career Mode Alpha Tauri by about a second a lap and was consistently last or near last in the speed trap with a low wing setup (12 front, 17 rear) and a ferrari engine.
We don't know if something is up with career and gp mode, but we do know that something is up with the myteam car in Myteam mode. My pet Theory is that the Factory engine upgrade may in reality not apply any speed upgrade to the player myteam car, but does it to the team mate and the ai.
I can only go by last year. Where during practice sessions my my team car would reach top end speeds in excess off 200mph. But come qualifying and race the best. Could hope for would be 195mph with drs. I’m still messing around with my team. But the car is heavy fat draggy dog. Starting as newcomer using redbull power and selecting all aero in press interview including picking front downforce has it had no negative drag effect has got my top end speed with drs during race up to 200mph.
In my team even with a fully maxed car the AI is still faster on straights but in other modes the ai is fine again
I play two-player career and there the AI also have ridiculous traction out of corners when they are driving out to the DRS zones, this makes them extremely difficult to overtake in the normal overtaking spots, I often find myself overtaking in corners, while I can't overtake on the long straits.
