The AI straight line speed is absolutely absurd. I can have DRS and dump the entire battery running 0-0 wings and still not overtake or be able to defend. it was the same on launch for either F123 o...

7 months agoHey there,
I see that some of you have reported that you are playing under 110 AI level. It is fair to assume that the AI at this level is going to be challenging. However, I will escalate this to the team.
In addition, is there someone who has this same feeling at 100 AI level or below?

Yes , no matter what car or setup I select, my car never reaches 8th gear and is extremely frustrating and wasting of my time, please fix this

Dont play high downforce setups or something. Ask Chatgpt to make a proper setup make him your mechanic. But also yeah even if you have decent topspeed theyre rocket launchers still. It doesnt matter somehow.

Sounds like either you've emptied your battery or were using the wrong ERS mode.

Can you help us telling us how to use better the ERS, I try alot of things but not getting good results
thank you.- Apophis-STR7 months agoSeasoned Ace
I'm not sure if you know already, but first, try to always keep the battery at least above 10% energy, once it's below 10% the power output is significantly lower and overall very inefficient.
Then, when it comes to the timing of when to use Overtake, the corner exit after a slow corner and into a long(er) straight (especially if it leads to a DRS zone coming after) is where you should use them.
However, try to use it only during the early part of the acceleration. Normally, I would disable Overtake mode on 7th gear, unless I know I had the momentum to overtake at the end of the straight.
And, never waste more battery than you should when you know you're in a DRS train, unless you've much faster outright pace than the car in front of you (who's also following another car). Be patient, only use Overtake if you need to stay within one second, disable it entirely to recharge whenever you can (at high speed, recommended), take advantage of the slipstreaming+DRS instead, or on the twisty part of the circuit where you know you could keep up without the extra power, the lower output also helps managing your tires.
