🏎️ Introduction

Welcome back to F123! In today's race, we will be going up against the 110 AI with a realistic performance by choosing the Mercedes car. Unlike previous races, I've decided to make it a bit more challenging by not selecting the best car, the Red Bull. Instead, we will be competing on the Austria track, which is the same track that will be featured in the upcoming F1 race. Get ready for a thrilling and realistic performance as we take on the AI!

🏎️ Choosing the Car

When selecting the car for this race, I wanted to make it more challenging by avoiding the best-performing car, which is currently the Red Bull. Instead, I opted for the Mercedes, which is considered to be the third-fastest realistic car. This decision adds an element of difficulty to the race and allows us to test our skills against the AI.

🏎️ Selecting the Track

To make this race even more realistic, we have chosen the Austria track. This track will be featured in the upcoming F1 race, making it the perfect choice for our challenge against the AI. By racing on the same track, we can compare our performance to the real-life race and test our skills under similar conditions.

🏎️ Setting up the Car

For this race, I decided to use a preset setup for the Mercedes car. I chose the "Increased Downforce" preset, with the only modification being the adjustment of the brake bias and differential settings. By using a preset setup, we can focus on our driving skills and adapt to the challenging AI without the need to fine-tune every aspect of the car.

🏁 Start of the Race

Starting in fourth place, the goal is to have a strong start and gain an advantage over the AI. With a well-executed start, we managed to overtake our opponents and secure the third position. The AI drivers, especially Perez on hard tires, proved to be formidable opponents. Our focus now is on getting past Lance Stroll and keeping up with Verstappen's AI, which is expected to be the strongest.

🏁 Challenging the AI

To keep up with Verstappen's AI, it is crucial to stay within the DRS zone and use our battery strategically. The AI drivers tend to use the ERS aggressively, so we need to match their pace and make calculated moves to stay within striking distance. Despite the AI's powerful acceleration, we managed to gain some time in certain corners thanks to our driving skills. However, closing the gap and overtaking Verstappen requires precision and smart decision-making.

🔋 Managing Battery Usage

With the intense competition against the AI, managing our battery usage becomes paramount. We need to use the battery strategically to stay within the DRS zone and make overtakes. However, we also need to be mindful of not using it excessively, as falling below 10% can result in a significant loss of power. We aim to strike a balance between aggressive driving and preserving the battery for crucial moments in the race.

🛠️ Pit Stop Strategy

As the race progresses, it becomes crucial to plan our pit stop strategy. Observing the AI's behavior, we noticed that they tend to use more battery towards the start and end of the race. With this in mind, we aim to reach lap six or seven before making our pit stop. By doing so, we can capitalize on their reduced ERS usage and gain an advantage during the latter part of the race.

🏎️ Pushing Towards the End

As we approach the middle stage of the race, we strive to maintain a competitive pace while conserving our battery. We gradually catch up to Verstappen and focus on closing the gap by utilizing our driving skills and utilizing the DRS whenever possible. The AI's dominance on the straights makes it crucial to make up ground in corners where we have an advantage. By pushing the limits of our driving skills, we aim to put ourselves in a strong position for the final laps.

🏁 Race Conclusion

After a closely fought race with intense battles against the AI, we managed to secure the lead going into the final lap. With careful battery management and strategic driving, we were able to take the victory against the challenging 110 AI. This race showcased the thrill and realism of competing against tough opponents in F123, providing an intense and gratifying racing experience.
