@KVNR01So to your point, a car weighing 1100kg and other car weighing 900kg are both capable of reaching top speed of 220mph, but on Baku straight, the lighter car is at 213mph before the braking zone, and the heavier car is at 206mph. Within the track's limitations, this would still mean that the lighter car has an advantage across the board, and if it doesn't, then why would the game suggest "Weight Reduction" in the chassis development? Shouldn't any development mean a faster car, and if it doesn't, then shouldn't "development" mean better in the context of the game's progression system?

@BrrapGod You develop a lighter car for a lot of reasons, not only for speed. A lighter car will be able to brake in less distance, so you can brake later, car will be more nimble, so better cornering, car will have better acceleration, so it will reach his theoretical highest speed sooner and leave in the dust a car with lower power to weight ratio, etc.

In car racing, weight is the king. For that reason F1 teams spend millions to reduce not kilos, but grams, because with the same power they will be able to get a much better racecar, gaining an advantage all around which would be impossible to gain if they only concentrate in raw power.

What @KVNR01 wrote is correct. Main problem with AI is their power to weight ratio is better than player's, and it's not because different developments paths in My Career. Their car seems to be simply a lot lighter than the player.
