AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights
It’s like they have DRS the whole race
Forum Discussion
Xbox, Grand prix mode Version 1.05. Just look at some of these lap times and how consistent they're. And it doesn't seem to matter what tyre they're on, either. Lap 4 in the sprint is interesting.
I’m not fast compared to the hot lappers but consistency is what win races. If I have no issues or ai slowing me down. I will generally lap awithin 3 tenths off eachother on each specific tyre. Which is what all real F1 drivers: so ai being consistent is perfectly normal. However I do think ai uses rubber banding in last few laps off a race. Cause they all off a sudden start lapping up to a second quicker
But being consistent on old softs and new hards surely should have a bigger difference. And it could be another reason why they're so fast out of slow corners if they have perfect tyres and temps all race long. I have watched a number of AI replays and the last 2 laps they just hammer ERS because they haven't used it much since lap 3 in most races. Which again makes me think why when I do use ERS most laps but never leave myself none, and have slipstream, DRS, fresher softer tyres but couldn't overtake that it's something more than just Straight line speed.
Edit I say 2 laps, it's more the last lap and final sector of the penultimate lap.

Yes it does, same as players. 100% guaranteed.
- @ScarDuck14 Because they always start draining all their ERS on the final lap, you could match them just fine if you managed your tire and ERS well in preparation for their final dash.
Usually they will run out of ERS (light starts flashing) on the final sector, use that to your advantage.@Apophis-STR Ofcourse. I generally only look at the ai last lap times when its blatantly obvious they are pulling away from me or catching. And I get they will try and get fastest lap. But all off them for the last few laps a second faster. I know why they are quicker than me and that’s cause last few laps if the car Infront isn’t realistically catchable and I’m not threatened from behind/ then I’ll just cruise home. It’s not that I can’t go faster. It’s that ai start lapping a second faster and only time they don’t is cause they get in eachother a way .
