BRAZIL MADE ME LOSE MY SANITY.
Hi guys,
I don't know if any of you had this issue as well, but what I recently played was more of a gauntlet than it was a Sprint Race.
For one, I threw away the prime chance to take a great starting position for the Sprint Race, because my car spun out for no valid reason - I didn't hit the throttle too hard, the tires weren't too hot, I had Medium TC... I honestly would blame the awful downforce of my car, but it worked out so many other times too, and now on Softs, when it matters, I can't do anything about it? Yeah right, EA.
But that wasn't the worst thing - I didn't change the AI level since Singapore (I play on 80), and what happened next was the hardest race of my entire F1 Life. Not because the track was too hard or because the car wanted to kill me if I dare to touch the grass, but because the AI are so inhuman like I have never seen before. They slam me off in corners as if I was thin air, their overall pace was simply untouchable, and the entire race was just nothing but a pure torture.
It took me, not exaggerating, ONE HOUR until I could get a decent run going and took P5 for the Feature Race.
With a twist: I had to use Full TC, because I didn't want to spin out for no reason again, and I had to use the Chase Cam to get a sense of where everyone was because the track feels more narrow than Monaco when driving in Dashboard cam.
So, unless EA tells Codemasters to fix the AI in Brazil, I will not use this track in future seasons. This might probably be the worst track in the game, maybe worse than Monaco in F1 2021, and that already was impossibly hard.
