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

Actually this looks massive. We would need to know the AI level but mostly the setup used especially about wings, according with David Greco the AI should use 8-18 (the default for Austria) and make the comparison, or ask to try again maybe with the same setup. I am still a little behind with the new game, in the next days I will do some tests personally with the AI.

Update
I may be wrong as I haven't directly raced AI yet, still learning the game, setup etc. but I did some easy test around Bahrain in which I'm currently training and here the results:
- AI default setup at Bahrain has wings 8-18 (AI110 1:27.8 - .9 in Quals)
- the current Playstation WR no aids 25-21 (1:27.2 TT)
- my current setup is 26-23 / 26-22 (1:28,0 TT)
Having saying that just some speed test in the main straight during a Qualifying session:
- AI (8-18) with Red Bull 330-331 km/h
- myself with RB using the same setup as AI (8-18) 330-331 km/h too
- my setup (26-22) 322-323 km/h as in TT, it means a bit more than 1 tenth lost at the end of the straight
According to this the speed itself would be ok, so the issue would look very related to the default setup which runs too low wings and cannot be used by the human player (I tried 8-18 but the car is very lazy in the corners).
If that's right the story should be different track by track, for example at Monza the default should be 5-15 if I well remember, while I run 0-0 in Time Trial, not sure it will be equal to my future race setup but not expect to go higher than 1-1 or 2-2 so I should be much faster than AI in the straight this time.
Anyone can confirm this?
@DavidG53 don't know if it's your matter and/or do you think presets may be modified to be "more similar" to human setups?
Thanks and bye,

The issue isn't traight line speed, it's acceleration
And from my tests the time loss in myteam scales with the engine used
A car with renault engine loses 0.3 secs, 0.7 for rb, 1 sec for ferrari.
@nkzsry9q2v3n It’s because Renault isn’t delivering as much torque to the wheels when accelerating out off slow corners. Making accelerating more manageable less wheelspin or less bogging down if using tc. I’ve been using Renault in my team that’s put me lower in performance rankings this making practice programs easier and although qualifying pace isn’t great. Race pace is good
@ScarDuck14 And again I don't think this is it, I have no issue in career, and people from all skill level who made the same test as I have seen similar results, if it was torque, then career and gp cars would be affected, but this is NOT the case, only myteam has this error
@nkzsry9q2v3n compared to all other cars. My team car is a dog. High drag, little downforce and heavier and fitted with a torque monster off an engine. . It’s along the lines off sticking a corvette engine into a van. . Ok huge exaggeration.
