Quali pace of ai

[delange93 13]

Hey all!

i found out the quali pace of the AI is insane. For most tracks but this is an example around Zandvoort. 
my team is the second fastest behind Merc. 
my teammate and me qualify with really close times but we are only P10-11.  ( i felt my lap was pretty good
it’s insane how fast the ai is.)
this is on 100AI. No assist. 
Is this a known issue? 
because ocon and myself are this close I feel I play at the correct difficulty.

How are you already the 2nd fastest team while only doing 5 races

Second or even third season perhaps.

Lap time of team mate suggests that your time is what the car is capable of, but indeed a long way behind of teams with less performance.
Possible time skip bug still exists?

It’s the third season. But I’m only doing 10 races per season switching the tracks up.

That could be it. I was hoping it was gone this game.  AI is really quick in quali imo no matter the track.

I always have to lower the difficulty by 1 for qualifying then for the race I raise it 1-2

Pretty sure 1-2 difficulty doesn't account for a 1.2 second gap.
