NFS Heat Performance Level Broken?

First of all I have to say that I so gar really enjoy NFS Heat.

But In have issues with the Performance Level of the Cars and the Cars Automatic Transmission.

For example: In the Steeldragon Event (I dont know If thats the exact Name, in German its Stahldrache) i have a realy hard time keeping up with the top 3 Cars, eventhough my Car is 30 Performance Points above the recommendation (in the Finish P1 had a Level of 201, I have 230).

You might think that my Car should be quicker everywhere, but it seems like I only make up time when I cut corners pretty hard. Especially on uphills it seems that the Car does not downshift early enough and you dont accelerate at all because of a too high gear.

The Car I am driving is the E46 M3. I had no such issues with the Starter M3.

Difficulty was Set to medium after I couldnt even keep Up with 3rd place on hard.

Anybody else experiencing similar issues? Or am I Just that bad?

  • I’ve beaten the race since, but progressing the story mode by doing story missions seems to have helped me with this 

  • I have the same issue when lvl 180 races unlocked for me while i was 210 . Some races are really easy to beat while some are impossible. Main issue in here is there is always "one" car which is really fast and impossible to reach. I switch cars, buyed every available upgrades with race perks but there was no luck for me until i noticed something. After 5 restart in same race i noticed that "really fast car" is going same speed with others this time. I have no problem beating it and i win by 800m diffrence between me and him even i crashed middle of the race. Then i wanted to try it on other races and it works in all. But i cant say how many times you need to restart really. It usually takes me between 3-10 restarts to get that. I think AI just bugs most of the time and makes that one car really fast.
