Ideas
I completely agree 100%. EA this absolutely has to be another priority fix. Try doing a race at Silverstone for example, even in dry conditions after 5 laps on the medium tyre it's almost cooked on the front left. I can build up a gap but by lap 7 they are all over me due to the excessively high tyre wear on the driver's car compared to the AI which in turn seems almost non existent! Plus their endless use of battery and overpowered straight line speed makes the racing completely unrealistic from a players perspective.
Either increase the AI tyre degradation to match the players car, or reduce the players car tyre degradation. The two are absolutely miles apart and so ridiculously unrealistic.
I even tried saving tyre wear by going so much slower through copse, maggots and Beckett's and Stowe, made absolutely no difference whatsoever! They still reel you back in by lap 7.
EA, adjustments are needed here, it's completely flawed at the moment!
