Just wanted to put it out there

Recommended Posts

i am not experiencing teammate bug. He (Grosjean) is every bit as competitive as I am.  Here’s the conditions I’m playing under:

-currently 4th season, with Haas for all 4
-chassis 67% aéro 62% powertrain 60% which puts me 2nd under merc for performance comparison
-ai driver level 100 (legend)
-25% race length
-one shot quali

we are neck to neck for quali always in succession, he beats me or I beat him but always side by side.   I have a hard time keeping up with him during races.  

I’m not sure if it only applies to McLaren or maybe my engine is not developed enough to make the difference but if you want to give it a go with a shot at constructor championship try with haas I guess

I don't mean to be rude, but is it possible that you are not quick enough to beat Grosjean, rather than him being quick enough to beat you?

So any lack of upgrades he might have still don't help you beat him consistently.

If you see my point?

And isn't meant as a dig, so please don't take it as one.

100% ai for me and I’m a pad player, seems to be the right value where I’ll always reach team objective, no more no less.  First season I was consistently 17th in quali so I’m really satisfied that I found the right balance of difficulty.  I still can’t beat merc, thankfully, as they are still ahead of my development curve.  Just now at Baku I qualified 3rd and he’s 4th,  and 3rd was team objective

Given I'm in the first season (13 races in the books) of my Haas career with Grosjean as my team mate I'm happy to hear this.

But he's second best from a performance angle behind only Mercedes, who are beating him, so regardless of difficulty he's getting the right results.

Haas start off with a highly rated power train in the game and crap aero and chassis so they're probably a good pick for realism, even if you're racing on maxed out difficulty sliders.

I picked haas because they were the worst team with the best engine... upgraded aero and chassis before engine

so if my Grosjean has been getting race wins and podiums that means he’s not bugged afaik, regardless of my own skills and such

The engine difference with upgrades is pretty minimal with any team with a Mercedes/2017 Ferrari engine. The issue starts becoming somewhat noticeable with Renault teams and is very noticeable for Sauber and it's destructive for Mclaren. All they really need to do is up the default top speed of Mclaren and Sauber to match what Renault do now and then slightly increase Renault's and it'll help minimise the damage from the issue.
Good to hear it doesn't seem to affect at least half of the teams though. They do apply the upgrades but not the same amount that the player gets. I'm guessing it's diminishing returns with the higher teams whereas the lower teams get a more extreme boost so the difference between player and teammate is larger.
