AI difficulty increased or bug?

Recommended Posts

I usually played the carreer mode in 105% difficulty in seasons 1 and 2 with toro rosso (3rd worst car)and I was most of times in Q2 and sometimes in Q3, but in season 3 I changed to red bull (2nd best car) and with the same difficulty it's been impossible for me to pass in to Q3 in australia and barhain (races I've done so far) how is that possible?

I had exactly the same issue on the PS4, 110% difficulty. My first season I was with Mclaren and I was pretty much on pace with my teammate (Alonso). Sometimes faster, sometimes slower depending on the circuit. Then the second season I switched to Force India. The first 7 or 8 races I was faster than Perez but then suddenly after those races I was becoming slower and slower compared to him. So I started changing my setup and things like that but nothing really seemed to make it better. Because of all the upgrades I think I had the second or third fastest car. For some reason I wasn`t doing so well with it, so I decided to switch to Red Bull, who had the second fastest car, for the third season. Same as you I had trouble even making it out of Q1. In the race I was quite a bit faster but still not as fast as the car should`ve been.
I tried to do the same races in Grand Prix mode, same settings, same setup and everything. Also there I was really slow. It just seemed like some kind of bug to me because I was actually on the pace in my first career mode season and the beginning of the second. Therefore I decided to remove all my data and start all over again. 
Now I`ve just started a new career mode with Toro Rosso and it seems like I`m on the pace again. But yeah, obviously I have no idea whether the same issue is gonna reoccur further into the career.

I don`t know whether it`s a bug which only occurs when you switch teams. I`m gonna sound like an idiot now (or maybe I`ve been already this whole comment) but one of the theories I had was that maybe the upgrades a team does while you`re not at that specific team, are not carried over once you join that team, if that makes sense? 

I don`t know if this is gonna help but at least I have a similar experience in career mode as well.

Yeah it looks like it only happens when you switch teams because in my two seasons in TR it didn't happen. And it can be that all upgrades that your team does the previous seasons are not carried over because I don't feel my car faster. I will try to make a race in china in carreer mode and in Grand Prix mode and compare the time I do in qualy to know if the car in career mode has the improvements.
