In F12000 the AI cars are always faster in straigth line but slower in
turns. In was my understanding that this is because they use
their own set up which has minimal wings.
At Monza I was using some set-up from the web and was going only around
290km/h (soft tires, 8 laps of fuel) at the end of the main
straight. So out of curiosity I want to the min wing (aroud 2.5 front
and back) and do only ( :-) ) 320km/h (with nearly max gear length). A
real F1 car should do close to 350km/h. And the AI are still faster at
the straight. So am I doing something wrong or the AI are just
programmed faster?? I was expecting to be as fast as the AI in straight
(and has bad in the turns!).
Thanks for your time

In a recent stint at Monza I noticed that the only AI that was faster
on the straights were the McLarens. And that was because of
the draft. I was also faster than just about all the other cars.
I did notice that the AI seems to use tires/fuel at a much greater
rate than I did. I was running a 25% race with tire wear, fuel and
mechanical failures set to 5x (I should probably use 4x). I was
pretty much able to win one race just by the fact that they seemed
to be in the pit all the time.
Many people have complained (or commented) on this exact thing.
I haven't seen it as a huge problem though. Not all cars hit the same
top speed in real F1.
