AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights

I'm not sure if it's ers or top speed related. ..  or maybe people are just playing outside there right ai level. 

I just did f2 at Bahrain at my newly chosen ai level and had no trouble down straights other than a normal slipstream or Drs!

@Dan78lokiI suggest not inserting F2 into the discussion, their cars and physics are completely different. It muddies the waters. The issue is with the F1 cars.

I am gaining multiple tenths through corners, but getting butchered on the straights. Turning the AI down only increases this. The TC was fine in F1 2021, they need to get it closer to that. Medium TC is an instant spin on corner exit. Full TC makes it almost impossible to spin.

It would be ideal to have TC on a slider, or have off, 25%, 50% (medium), 75% and 100% (full).

The top speed issue emanates from the TC issue, which solved, should allow for top speed to be balanced a little and resolved.

I have tried every conceivable set up and it is still and issue on corner exit.

Note: using PS5 controller.

I'm on ps5 too  pad of course and I wholeheartedly agree with your trc idea.  

@EA_Barry please barry this is somewhat of a problem like f1 2021 where the ai had massive speed in high speed corners but now its in acceleration out of corners you guys should really look in this problem as i see many people have this problem i even heard tiametmarduk mention it sorta he said in his newest video the ai are really quick but thats because of this problem

The AI difficulty, the AI programming and the effects of different difficulty are really broken and unfair.

on 2021 I ran 80 to 90 percent difficulty, but I now have to run 60 to 70 because the practice programs and straight line speed.

if I put it above 70 I’m setting lap times in a mid filed car that get me 5th in quali but apparently it’s too slow for the practice time, I understand it’s meant to be harder but you’ve stopped me being able to complete practice programs to get points and all.

If this isn’t a bug and you programmed them to be impossible just remove practice programs from the game, because you can’t complete them and have a difficult racing experience.

That leads on to the AI, the AI are either rockets on steroids on the straights and make illegal overtakes but take no damage and are glued to the racing line, or they are overly cautious and won’t even try to defend or fight back.

Ive tried different difficulty level, but if I run at 69 it’s too easy and they aren’t aggressive, but I run at 70 and I can’t complete practice programs and I keep getting a DNF due to be dive bombed and can never catch anyone with overtake and DRS on straights.

Hey everyone, 

we are still looking into your feedback about the straight line speed of AI drivers, and would like to get some more information from you to analyse it. 
Could you please provide us the following details:

- Videos / Clips of sequences where you feel the AI has too much speed on a straight while you maybe use DRS / DRS+ERS / ERS and have no ability to catch the car in front. 

- What difficulty level did you use for your race?

- Which assists are you currently using?

That would help us and the game team massively to understand your reports and see how we can tackle that feedback of yours 👍

If you have any questions, please let us know. You can also post links to YouTube videos / upload clips to trusted websites like streamable.com.
