Can antone tell me why I can't acheive the same top speeds as the other
cars.  I may be topping out at 307 km while the other cars are at 326 km or
so.  I checked exit speed on the corners before the long straights and I
have equal or better.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like you have too much wing on your car.  Lower the wing and you should
get the top speed you're looking for.

320-330 is possible but you'll have to set the back wing of the car
really low...  Personally I run Germany and Italy with setting 1 at the
back.  For avoiding a loose end, just lower the car, and to improve
grip, use quite soft springs in the back.  The front wing and front
suspension/anti-roll bar, you'll have to adjust to your personal
drivestyle...  Make it real pointy if you're 'Alesi' and need to correct
because of driving over the edge, make it 'Hill' if you're perfect &
smooth, and understeer + slow in corners if you don't want to get
mentally exhausted after 5 laps :)))))

I dont have this problem I can exceed the AI speeds most of the time,
have you tried lower wings and other setup changes?

Lower your wing settings, but be careful of losing grip in the corners!!!!
