We are trying every possible thing to understand what the issue is. Also have you tried playing in career and gp mode ? If yes do you have similar results as in myteam ? If no, could you try and tell us if it's different/if you are faster in gp mode or career mode ? Thanks in advance !
I play at 98 AI without any assists. I have Renault engine and in R&D, I have the worst engine, even after couple of upgrades.I have tried GP right after launch and did not find anything weird. However that was a quick testing and of course not familiar with the new handling at all. Can give it a new try at some point.
After 36 hours playing only GP mode as Sergio Perez, AI at 95 and no assists I have become very competitive and not struggling nearly as much as I did in the first 15-20 hours of game play. What I did to improve was practice a track in TT mode. I would pick Jarno Opmeer's setup and set him as my rival. I'm always at least 1.5 seconds slower but I got a lot better at driving and throttle application through a 30-45 minute TT session. Following his telemetry shows were my weakest points are. Before using Jarno's setups I would go with TRL setups which I found understeer too much for my style.
Jarno's setups really suit my driving style and feel very stable on corner entries and exits. My corners exits made the most improvement and I was able to make use of the DRS and ERS better on straights. If you watch the AI they constantly hit the overtake button for very short periods on corners exits and mid way through straights. Applying this same technique also helps stick with them on straights. So far I have only done Bahrain and Austria but I am winning medium distance races at 95AI. Usually starting from 6 to 4th place.
One thing that was really weird was in Austria I was having a strange thing happen in 6th gear during a race. Midway through the gear the revs would drop a bit and slowly climb back up. I was losing power briefly but only in 6th gear. I exited the race and started over with a different setup and the problem was gone.
@Hansenhaus Im pretty sure the issue for Gp mode was resolved on release as I made this post on the champions edition pre-release, but the issue still remains for My team As I tested GP mode today and it was fixed
