Practice Programs Difficulty

Recommended Posts

F1 2017, 1.7 patch, PC, 95% difficulty, Team Renault 

This is thru 17 races on season 2.

I'm finding the practice programs to be fairly difficult especially in P1 and P2 before the track fully rubbers in. I need to pull of almost better than perfect laps for the race pace, tire wear, and sometimes even the fuel savings to get purple and even sometimes just green. I figure this is still tied to the AI being ridiculously OP in practice sessions. The qual pace program is sometimes a little tricky but usually feels more obtainable in P3 once everything is fully rubbered in.

During qualification I'll normally be able to hit the team goal (usually around 11th), usually a little higher and sometimes lower. Race feels like I end up where I should be, normally around 7-10th, a little lower if I really bork up strategy and sometimes can get 5th or higher dependent on top team retirements. Compared to my teammate I'm normally right around where he is (Hulk) or better and feels like I'm at the right pace compared to him in the qual and race sessions as well.

For now I will just lower the difficulty in the practice sessions. But overall I feel like I am at the right difficulty based on my qual and race results but feel WAY behind on pace in practice programs.

PS4 25% Career in Renault 90% difficultly

Im finding i can get them complete if i drop my difficulty down to 85% for practice (still not all in the optimal). Then 90% for quali and im 10th - 13th, then im like you, finishing 5th or 6th in the race,, hell im 2nd in the championship (just raced Azerbaijan), A SC in Australia and China meant i finished 4th and 1st (patch 1.6) then a wet race in Canada and the slow race pace of A.I post patch 1.7 meant i won that race too. I feel like i need to up my difficulty to 105% for the race but theres zero chance of me completing the practise programs at that setting.

I dropped it to 90% (from 95%) to do the practice programs in Mexico, barely made purple in most of them, and it seems like I might have to go even further in Brazil, tried some programs yesterday and was WAY off the pace.
