AI straight line speed.

I wonder if you've noticed I was running None ERS setting at the later half of almost every long straights (even during overtaking other AI), and the gap barely changes as long as I've already reached certain speed (320-330kph), it's a demonstration of how to effectively use ERS, not just rush in and drain-it-all regardless of situations, you have to wait or create opportunities, starts recharging as soon as you know the move can't be done or is already executed, it's a patient game whenever you're part of the DRS train.

Regarding the Hadjar battle on Lap 5 of Canada, I didn't have DRS, so of course he was gonna gain at me because that's the intended mechanics of DRS, and even that it wasn't enough for him to do so whilst I managed to overtook him on lap 4 where he was in my exact same situation on lap 5, it was all done by having better exit and usage of ERS. 

Also, the 0-0 wing setup is actually responding to some other comments here, I didn't want to make so many replies in fear of them looking like spam.

Edit:
I see what you meant by him coming back at me at the end of lap 4, but that was a bad exit, he was already right up my gearbox to take full advantage of the slipstream, and I even disabled the ERS because I know even then he wouldn't be able to make a move as long as I stay on the racing line (just like Oscar irl this year against Lando).

At the end of lap 5, where the gap was about the same as before, but he even had DRS this time, and still wasn't able to get ahead before the finish line, because I actually use my battery this time. 

Hey there,

Thank you for all your comments here. Unfortunately, I don't have any new information on this. However, I would like to encourage you to post videos of instances when the AI's speed is too fast on straight line. 

Also, please don't forget to mention which AI difficulty you were playing.

Thank you very much!

Even in the f2, AI are OP on the straights, especially in the wet conditions. I tested difficulty levels from 80 to 100

Hey there,

If you could provide videos of AI acting this way below 100 we would really appreciate them.

Thanks!

I've been playing around with setups etc, I feel like the problem isnt too bad in the first season of Career/My Team, it's only really noticeable once the cars get upgraded and the AI naturally get faster.

I've turned off TC completely and feel like that's also helped a little bit, also people who have made setups are starting to create setups solely for the purpose of racing the AI - shouldn't have to do this but it's a short term fix.

In no means am I saying there's no problem at all, because especially after Season 1 it makes racing the AI incredibly frustrating when it feels like they just have unlimited battery, which is probably the most likely issue rather than something inherent in their code.

I Play on 95 and worse place i feel it is in slightly more downforce tracks and less in quick tracks like monza. Where you as the player have to run higher wings it feels like the Ai dont. At hungry i came out the final turn 1.1 Infront, by the end of the straight i had dumped my battery and the gap was 0.4. It was in my team and my car is second quickest on the grid on red bull are quicker the car behind was a merc

100-103 it vary from track to track. In every track even with a low downforce setup when im on the 8 Gear at some point when i dont use overtake i loose so quickly my gap i always have to drain the battery to gain more and more

Don’t want to be rude at all, but have you guys actually played the game post release and used the settings that people have been describing 

The main issue as well is AI ers. I have videos where I have to drain all of my battery to just stay in front on the main straights like in Catalunya. But the AI always have 100% battery for overtake mode and are at least 15-20 kph faster

I have been playing my team career mode and just started season 2. Season 1 was great and I had little to no problem with then Ai speed. However,  I recognized that upon immediately beginning season two the AI were ridiculously fast on the straights, and overall. its to the point where I can not even complete a race or fight for points whereas I was fighting for wins in the first season. I could be 1.5 seconds ahead going into the straight and come out .3 ahead even when using drs and all my ers. A real game breaking problem after you complete one season.
