Super Fast AI Final Lap
Every race AI's final lap feels too fast. I find they had deployed ERS overtake mode almost every acceleration time even Miami Turn 11-12 and 12-13. They seem to pour out all their remaining energy...

@KVNR01 This probably my main gripe I don’t mind being beaten to the line out off the last corner. But it needs to feel organic. But as you say because it’s every race you know it’s not.
Good observations brought up in here and I agree. the AI go all out in the final laps. They do save up their ERS mid race and use it perfectly at the end to hunt you down. I know it's coming and I do the same. I rarely outpace the AI in the last couple of of laps.
ERS management algorithm needs to be modified.
They should use their energy at better opportunities.
It's stupid to have the slowest lap time in the mid-race on other side a 1-2 second quickest lap in the final lap.
It is unrealistic and not fun for all drivers except me to record their best lap on the final lap.It would be interesting to find out how many players who play at 70+ against the AI have actually set the fastest lap. I bet it's not many. I know I haven't but I've only played in Grand Prix mode and not as the top 3 teams.
- @DRudd13 Hadt given it a thought but I’m 4th ranked team and not far behind the 3 infront and Havnt had a single fastest lap. And when I check my fastest lap is always a second off from the ai
- @Hansenhaus You're doing it correctly, but it depends on the difficulty settings. If you needed to push like hell only to keep up with the AI during their mid-race phase (where they're at their slowest), then the setting is probably too high, you'll get swallow up by them during their pushing phase (Opening laps / final lap / in-lap / out-laps)
Tune it down to the point where you can keep pace with those on similar strategy and performance even when managing your car, then you'll be able to counter them nicely on those fast laps without feeling getting eaten up.
At the moment I'm on 90-95 for MyTeam mode, 100 for GP (post v1.08 patch)this is unrealistic case.
British GP.
Fernando Alonso had Fastest lap. He was P9. His last lap was faster than any other drivers.
Lewis Hamilton won the GP. Alonso's last lap was 0.5sec faster than Hamilton's.
Maybe he had so much energy at last lap.
I don't understand keep his time 32.xxx at mid-race and ONLY do 31.1 at the end.
Is this good race management?
The ers-saving AI excuse proves that this isn't realistic.
AI doesn't need ers to attack? nor to defend themselves? in this logic not seen that all the AI save the ers, but you also forget that in the last lap the tires are dead so the AI is supposed to be slower than its fastest lap, so the ers will just help to be a little faster in a straight line, the tires being dead, there is less grip but in the bends the tires prevent them from rolling very/too fast so the ers do not change anything.
I persist that the AI has a * god mode in the last lap and also in the pit lane exit laps does not have as much problem with cold tires.
EA is their legendary script we still hit.
