About 9-12 months ago, Andrew said he was going to alter the figures so that push levels made more of a difference to passing.
EG 5/5 softs will not sit behind 1/5 softs for 3 laps without passing.
Is there any sort of ETA on this yet? It's still happening like it always was and it is ruining races. If it has already been done I suggest re-addressing the problem because the alterations weren't effective enough imo.

yea i agree with that, its very odd, on 1st laps with everyone on 5/5 people just seem to glide past each over and back again passing galore, then when someones not online and are on 2/5 compared to everyone else's 5/5 most of the time its like trying to go through an immovable wall untill Kers kicks because DRS is usless cus u stuck in a que of 15 cars or something like that while the guys that qualified ahead are going 2-4 secs a lap quicker.
I even had a guy on 1/5 push overtake me half way round the 1st lap while i was still 5/5 in a que of cars before.
it should be hard to overtake when u both on same temp tyres and push level but if u r 5/5 and warmer tyres against a guy on 2/5 and stone cold tyres it should be much easier to overtake.

Yeah thats the other thing too. If you're in traffic and you're being held up by a 1/5 guy while you're on 5/5, you get other 1/5 and 2/5 guys passing you aswell. It's ridiculous.
Even more annoying when you're on 5/5, stuck behind a 1/5 guy, and a bunch of people pass you AND the 1/5 guy while you're still stuck burning up your tyres.
It's just unrealistic and needs to be addressed asap. It's been too long.

This is on the list. Work continues on the simulator until things are more stable
