After watching the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday I raced it as part of my third season (on a PC, using a wheel, all aids off, all sims on, 50% distance, professional AI difficulty). What struck me was the top speed of my car - I'm in a McLaren and I'm hitting 340+ kph on the Kemmel straight coming up to Les Combes (my setup was based on one of Andrew Bortz or Viktor Anderson's - I can't remember). Point is, in the race I think the highest speed I saw was 320kph. What does this say about the way CodeMasters have modelled the handling of the cars? Have they got the aero/grip modelling wrong? Surely with a level of downforce as low as I was running I should be in a totally uncontrollable car?
Btw, I'm not that fast (was going to say at Spa but probably in general) and can't match real life qually times. Think my Q3 time playing in career mode was 1.48. I don't do time trial!
