F1 World car gets slower the higher the tech level

Hey everyone, since I reached the 1000 hard cap on tech level in F1 World, the F1 World car has become  significantly slower, specially noticeable in the Invitationals events with other players.

Even if I force myself back down to (soft cap) tech level 900 on all parts, all legendaries with good stats, I am 2-5 seconds slower a lap then most other people. That is while driving mostly good laps too.

Earlier in June I was able to push 1.25's on Silverstone with the F1 World car at around 500-600 tech level. The last week i've not been able to get below 1.30 lap times on Silverstone, with DRS + ERS help at 900-1000 tech level. 

I understand that I might not be the top 1% type driver, but i'd consider myself top 10-15% most of the time.

-----------------------------

Current tech parts I am using. I managed a 1:31.072 as best lap in my last Silverstone race in Invitationals. That was a whole 3 seconds slower A LAP than some of the other players, in a race with Tech Level 500 AI. If I do the same with 1000 tech level, I would be another second slower.

------------------------------------

An example from a race at Imola 2 days ago below:

-------------------------------------

A race from today (Sunday 29th of June):

Backstory: I was leading from lap 1 until sector one on lap 5, then I got overtaken by 1st place in his absolute rocketship. How can you defend/race/win/do anything when others can do 3-5 seconds a lap quicker pace??

------------------------------------------------

Can someone please explain to me why the F1 World car gets slower and/or nerfed badly when you get higher Tech Level parts installed? Should be able to breeze events at tech levels 100-800, and even higher.

I can go on and on with examples, but that would be pages on pages.

If someone wants to see what I am talking about, I can show it live or with replays from previous streams.

    does this actually work you cant keep your 1000 tech level you have to dismantle all vehicle parts i take it. but does it give you a faster car on lap speeds so tempted to do it but was hard work getting to 1000 im 500 hrs into the game and struggling to press that dismantle button 

  • i think i might of worked out the problem, how much fuel efficency is everyone running? theres a bug from f1 23, where fuel efficiency lowers fuel used, but as you cant change how much fuel you have at the start, then obviously as the race goes on your heavier than everyone else.

    the bug from f1 23 was never fixed, so its probably the same bug.

    the fact taking off parts from the left side fixes this and thats where all the fuel efficiency is, probably related imo.

    i will do some actual testing when i have more parts with fuel efficiency available.

  • I can now confirm as I have resorted to doing it if you dismantle your vehicle parts back to 100 it will make your car much faster.i was very reluctant to do it DO NOT dismantle your team.

    I also tested it by putting 900 parts back on which resulted in the car been slow again so untill this problem is fixed I won't be upgrading car parts.it is now fun to drive again as I can keep up with others hope this helps all that are struggling.

    Hoping this gets fixed real soon. Such a gamebreaking bug that is now documented so much by so many different people. Not even enjoying F1 World in F1 25 at this point.

    So strange to see its not even made a comment about it in the community raised issues thread.

  • 3 months since this bug was posted, and nothing has changed. 

    Its a shame that I have to use this car to be competetive against anyone (AI or human).

    Its coming in at 550 total tech level, and the car feels quite good, maybe not min-maxed, but still alot better than the 1000 total tech level car.

    Please sort this out.
