AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights

@EA_Hux  I have drs and slipstream but as soon as i pull out and am next to him all the speed is gone.

The cars had equal power.

For me this bug occurs in every area of the game, even in multiplayer, if there is a AI Car.

@EA_rephii Here is another exapmle, recorded on equal preformance cars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adZi7k1RzkE

I use up about 40% of my ERS the entire straight while the car in front only uses about 15% of ERS.

90 AI and using the standard increased top speed setup.

I don't know mate, Perez has the DRS as well, so I don't think it is fair to expect you to overtake him easily. You are still cathing him slowly as you use more ERS, but I don't think you should be able to overtake. It is still equal performance cars.

Also, if you look Alonso behind you, he is dropping back as he doesn't have DRS. Looks realistic and not overpowered AI to me.

Having the same issue in My Team (at Imola) and Driver Career (in F2 at Baku, I have video of this but can’t attach it for some reason). Pace seems fine in the corners but as soon as you hit a straight section the AI speed boosts massively and they just drive around you and pull away making it impossible to keep up. Issue hadn’t occurred in previous races just at the points mentioned which are both in season 1 of the respective career modes.

F1 22 AI Speed Boost 

So on Grand Prix mode I have no problems with the ai speed and I can stay on 107 difficulty whereas on career mode on the straights I can’t keep up at all 

@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 released this In the Champions edition early access, and it used to be an issue in Gp mode, but they have now fixed it in GP mode, but you are correct as in My team they still have not fixed the issue

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
