No more grid penalty for AI in career mode?

Recommended Posts

I remember that on the first patches you could see in some races on the grid presentation that some AI drivers got grid penalties for whatever reason. I thought that was cool, closer to reality. It's been a while since that hasn't happened. I wonder if it went away with one of the recent patches.

they still get penalties but there was a wear bug where things were wearing down too quick which CM have patched. The main difference is now they'll be more spread out but they will still happen.

The AI grid penalties are still there. The final 5 or 6 races in my first season were just a mess, so unrealistic. Approx 15 of the AI had grid penalties at each of the races. I was qualifying around 16th in the McLaren but then starting the race in 3rd because of AI penalties. For sure this helped my races but it was so annoying for the realism aspect. Please fix this Codies. It's almost like the AI replaces one engine component per race, rather then doing them all in one.

I remember I qualified 19th and started (or close to) on pole all of the last 7 races before the patch. Now drivers take grid penalties separately and spread out over a longer course of races. Really nice to see it has become more realistic!
