So, I played a bit of the F1 26 DLC, and while I like it so far, I immediately found a huge problem.
The first thing I did was to try a race on the new Madrid circuit. And that's where the trouble started.
First off, and that is a big problem, I play with the racing line. However, the racing line in Madrid has completely strange braking points where you could normally go quicker through the corners, and the braking point on the tight, uphill right hander is incorrect. If you follow that particular braking point, you WILL crash.
Second off, not only does the racing line force you to go much slower, but even with a near perfect lap, the AI are 30 levels too fast, and I know that because I tested with a Red Bull on 60 and was just barely able to match Antonelli as long as I don't follow the racing line.
So yes, this is a very crucial problem. AI in Madrid is too fast, the racing line in Madrid is completely messed up... I really hope this gets fixed soon, preferably before I reach Madrid in Career mode for the first time.
Let's hope for the best.
