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.

  • Noticed same problem, in career mode or with equal perforamnce turned on, i'm 2-3 seconds on average quicker than my friend, my tech level is at 850, meanwhile my friends is at 650, hes much faster than me in invitational lobbies, like 5 seconds a lap faster than me now.

    Game is getting boring due to this, the more time i put into it, the less positions i get, considering this is an entire game mode, this needs looking into and fixing asap.

    i think its a scaling issue, ie if your above the tech level, you get scaled down too much, meanwhile if your below said tech level, it scales you up too much, thus making slower cars much quicker than faster ones.

    EA_Groguet​ - Now that another user has also encountered this issue, is there no way to report it to a technical department or team for investigation?

    My brother and I now have invitational cards just sitting there because we can't play them, knowing that unless someone without issues joins, we won't get any rewards.

    We spend many full minutes stuck in the lobby, cycling through, hoping someone plays cards below tech level 300 so we can get some rewards, even though we have our own cards.

    Please, report this problem to the appropriate people.

  • First and last race of today.... This is ridiculous now!!!

    Its so bad I need 2 pictures from the same race....

    With my Tech level 1000, I cant even get within 2 seconds PER LAP of THE AI at ~450 tech level event.  Some people can fly away at ridiculous pace, while others are locked with very slow car performance and even the AI laps us by 1-2 second every lap.

    Tech level event: 450

    Tech level on car: 1000 (but "balanced" to 450)

    Please consider looking into this as its extremely frustrating to race like this.

    Blue circled area for AI comparism in both pictures.

    We are definitely on the same topic of problem yeah. It so weird that the quicker the car gets, the more nerfed/slow it gets when driving against others in invitationals.... And now even in OFFLINE races against AI.

    I really hope EA can do something against this cause at the moment its impossible to race in F1 World with the current F1 World car.
