What exactly was the Patch now?? When i drove on 80 i need to increase to 85 and face the same issues like before? I don't get this patch really. Any impressions so far already? I had no trouble really with 80,season ended with just 5 points difference to Vettel,so pretty even and balanced to team mate.
Yeah, no idea. Maybe its a fix for the insane traction they get or their weight has been increased, no one really knew what the issue is/was with the AI Speed in MyTeam/Career.

@PBR3491the "issue" is that AI has reduced weight. People say it only affects the corner exit speed, but forgive me if I am uneducated, lesser weight = higher power to weight ratio, hence higher top speed. If anything, AI can run higher downforce wings and still have the same top speed as me, an intellectual, with lower downforce wings

@BrrapGodLess weight does not necessarily mean higher top speed.
Drag is proportional to velocity squared. Higher top speed is more about the drag coefficient of the vehicle, the cross sectional area of the vehicle, and overall power output of the PU to push against that force.
Less mass will help with acceleration as acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.- 3 years ago
@KVNR01Less weight does not necessarily mean higher top speed. - that's only in negligible scenarios. When you have a car that is 10% higher than the exactly same car (and we're talking at least 100kg difference in sprung weight), the lighter car will be faster across the board - it can brake later, it can accelerate sooner and it needs less power to achieve the same top speed as its heavier counterpart.
Like, yes, drag is air resistance in other words. That air resistance is going to be the same at certain speed, whether you're a 1100kg car, or 900kg car. But, with a 900kg car you have more power available to you to tackle the said resistance.
