AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights
It’s like they have DRS the whole race
Forum Discussion
@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.

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
@ScarDuck14 Are you sure the AI didn't reset itself to a lower difficulty when starting the new career?
I feel alittle silly: in my defence over 2 days without sleep. What I thought my blurry vision said 80 was infact 60.
And as My reactions are also seriously lacking. I went full traction control at Bahrain. Coulthard is my teammate and all race he was just ahead. Ridiculously slow going into and through corners. But accelerating out off turns 1 and 10 I had no chance off catching until he went ridiculously slow into the next corner.
But the whole race what was really irritating was the sound off the engine revving when accelerating but every gear 1 to 5 TC would cause the revs sound like they were screaming in agony for a second. So curious as Coulthard was infront off me. Both using i assume default 4 setup. I hit replay and jump into his car and I compared how his car sounded accelerating out off the same corners. Out off every corner. Smooth as silk no screaming revs. Optimal nice acceleration and every gear change perfect. Sounded like two different cars. And this is why the ai is killing pad users who use assists… Well just lower the ai and it will be ok I hear the get gooders scream…. Doesn’t work. Why? Cause it’s only out off slow to medium corners that your massively slower. Whereas into and through corners the ai are ridiculously slow. But it always impossible to make the pass because they get enough off a lead out off the previous corner:
Yes last years game did the same and the year before etc: but never to these extremes
No need to do a deep dive investigation hoping to become our saviour. the CM devs have already identified and told us the issue and they are already working on a fix. And once the update is dropped it will also mean we can increase the ai difficulty as they will seem slower. But infact it’s cause us poor pad users will be smoother. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast🥱 I am all knowing 🥳Also as I mentioned in a previous post. Renault power train gave good top speed in last years game: Bahrain without Drs coulthard on a few different laps I’ve checked on replay has highest speed on main straight then alonso then me,
