WTH is wrong with the Formula Renault car?

[Mark]

After completing 3 different championships and having a lot of fun with the game, i've gotten stuck with the Formula Renault championship. The AI there is just too good, they fly through the corners while my car with default setup has no downforce / grip whatsoever and i have to brake a lot earlier than the AI, so i can't compete. I went to the setup and increased downforce to maximum values, and while that improves cornering speed, the car has awful top speed and the AI can comfortably overtake me in the straights... I even set the AI skill and agresssion to 0% to have a chance but they're still faster in the straights... so i don't know what to do anymore

do you use DRS?

I tried DRS, with max downforce setting. Still less downforce than the ai has so i have slower cornering speed, and still too slow on a straight. The AI is cheating basically.

There are some issues with the tire heating on this car (same as the other lower tier formulas). It has been mentioned that the tires will be updated with the next patch.

Good to hear, but i think the Ai is at fault here. They are too fast in some sectors, as if they had way more downforce than what the car is capable of, while their top speed is not penalized. Either that or the player driven car doesn't have enough downforce. The default setup which has, i believe, 10 front wing and 14 rear wing drives more like a vintage formula 1 car, it's ridiculous.

The AI is cheating or is buggy. There are Championships were the AI is on 80 faster as World Records. And in Rain they stuck and forget there skills.

People are reporting they are faster using the the Formula Renault in the demo verse the current retail release version (given the same track). So there is some work to the tires coming.

Glad to hear this. Is there any way i can retire from this championship and start a different one?

Not that I'm aware of... You can always create a different career and then come back to this one after the patch.
