Solved

Experienced players. Need to pick your brains.

My drivers have all of a sudden started to make really bad starts to races. In the first race in Australia one of them lost 10 places on the first lap. He actually did a slower lap on super softs than others did on hards...
Not sure what has changed as he is still only 24.
Any ideas on what is happening?
Thanks in advance :)

Probably the weather was hot ?

Probably your driver is bad compared to others or your acceleration is bad compared to others or you didn't push at the start of the race

Same tyres as front runners. Same strategy, drivers are all very similar level. Went from 5th to 15th in 1 lap :(

What about your push level?Or even your acceleration

I was on push level 3. Acceleration was on 48 I think. 1st race of the season, so a reset car.

Fuel (do your CD has weakness?)/defence position is the other way. But in AUT is easy to overtake in some corners, so a lvl 5 push can be better than your driver.

Yep,due to active players (mostly or everyone) set push lvl 5 because tires start with optimum temperature and it is still winter(so 10 degree lol) so they overtake you when you only started with push lvl3

Hope that is what it was. Will see what happens next time I use supers on the first stint. Last night on hards I had no trouble. Thank you for taking the time :)
