Not sure for certain last year’s 2nd driver facility boosts spec 1-3 were 5/10/15 and I read this year it’s something like 5/7/10.
Thanks mate,well then i have to adjust again. Problem is when you found your AI in gp Mode does not mean it fits to career 😑 so smth like GP Mode AI minus 2 or 3 in your season.
I only play career mode and online. Never tried gp mode, but i played against 95% AI with maybe the 3rd fastest car and could win races. Since the 1.06 patch, ive reduced it to 85% and still qualifying last with the fastest car.
Its also become incredible hard to control my car to keep up with the AI.
From what ive read from other bug reports is that this issue is only in career/my team mode and not in GP mode. I havent tried it (gp mode) myself yet but will give it a shot.I only play the career mode so hope they fix this soon.

I have to say I am used to it now. Pre Patch AI was 87-90. Now i found myself on AI 80 and it is working pretty smooth. I can match vettel times with the aston martin. I do not use GP Mode anymore as a reference before.
I used to drive at AI near 100 on F1 2020 and near 94-96 in F1 2021, today I found myself against 64 AI in Singapore in 5th fastest car in My Team mode and until it start to rain I was at P7 keeping up with Ricciardo but after rain drops and I have to switch for Interns I lost 35 seconds to him in 20 laps. I can keep ppl behind because it is hard to overtake on this track. This game is unplayable at this moment. I am driving with traction control and abs cause I don't have wheel anymore but still in F1 2021 I was also playing with it and was way faster. It is killing all the fun especially in the rain.
Hopefully this is just to get on the thread and not a direct reply to the previous comment, but I haven't played patch 1.06 yet and I have already read and seen for myself how it plays and yeesh, Codemasters, you better rectify it fast because the content creators have had enough, I think Tiametmarduk has all, but given up his MyTeam series due to AI OP more so now than previous patch. Aarava has slated the OP AI again and is stating that it appears upgrades aren't applying on the player's car so the teammate is benefitting from the upgrades and the player is not, he's still a trooper and carried on despite that, but that needs looking at if it's true, there's no point in R&D. Alex Gillon has stated that all you did was take away the message of it being fixed, but the downforce and power don't return for the rest of the race. How has it gone drastically wrong? Some updates on things would be really nice right now. The handling model is skewing the tyre pressure to low and to be fair Ted Kravitz did mention that Hungary irl benefits from low tyre pressures (18 psi) this year so that's something. In the MyTeam car, I had to ring its neck to get anywhere in qualifying then I was just slow in the race, dropped back throughout and couldn't match the AI so I paused it until Codemasters rectifies the OP AI, there was no way I am only 75 AI from 84 last year (that's when I can get off the back row, but still can't do much more in the race this year). Practice Programmes, I thought I was driving badly during them, but no, the times were like qualifying times and it was for Race Strategy! Nobody does those times unless of course you go aggressive with the strategy, but tell me how many times has races been split on 1 or 2 stop? Not very many. I ended up simulating them because it was less painful.
I will however echo BigRedMnstr15's grievances, 94-96 to 64 is a massive downgrade in AI just to match them then to lose 35 seconds for a bit of rain, almost 2 seconds a lap (1.75 to be precise), that is totally unacceptable, it's a joke. Codemasters, you're going to lose all casual players at this rate if you don't sort it soon, I assure you. It will also make players turn the rain off. Yeah, very realistic, like it never rains in the world anymore, but that's what will end up happening if AI are so OP in rain that there's no point even trying.
