Qualifying practice program theory.

So got a qualifying practice program at Jeddah and smashed it by 2 seconds.   So thinking out loud. Previous games qualifying practice program would give you targets based on where your car was...

    btw, patch 1.07 has something to address the difficulty of practice programs will be interesting to see what is affected 

    So I started a new MyTeam career. Exactly same settings as before. Bahrain qualy lap program I can now get in the green (just about). Other practice programs are easier too. Looks as though the patch is doing what it says on the tin.

    Whether or not AI in the race have also been tweaked, I don’t know (will do the race tomorrow to see). If AI in race has not been tweaked this should mean practice programs have been brought more in line with player ability (at least for me), while keeping the race experience the same. Thinking about it, they might have done so, as actual AI qualy pace goes hand in hand with qualy practice programme, ditto for race pace.

    Will see tomorrow…

    I was doing a practice program when the patch dropped.  It definitely had an effect on my car as it was et berserk and crashed into a wall at jeddah😀 

    So now we’ll in about a hour gunna start again and  hopefully I can pass with a decent engine.

    But did Bahrain. Before patch Passed programs but way off the pace.  Corns qualifying my team was 8th in the rankings. I qualified in 4th: wow.  0.5 off a second behind max on pole:  did race max Perez sainz and lewis were all 2 seconds a lap faster than me.  So hopefully it makes sense now

      You sure that wasn’t you 😎

      From what you’ve said it sounds like they might have tweaked the AI, or some kind of funny thing happened as the patch was implemented when it was in your race weekend. 

      will be interesting to hear your experience 👍🏽

        So I did the race in Bahrain it feels like the AI has also been adjust downward, but marginally - a few tenths per lap. @ScarDuck14 thoughts?
