Has anyone else had the problem as of late having other drivatars just fly by you, and you can’t catch up? It seems over the last couple of weeks I have notice a couple of drivatars that scream by me on the last lap, and for all I can do I can’t even come close. Shouldn’t the drivatars be able the same level skill you are?
Are they friends passing you? What difficulty level have you set for the drivatars? Your problem could be down to your friends drivatars, which don’t get performance adjusted like non-friends that start ahead of you on the grid. The easier you set the game, the more chance that your friends will battle through to the front. If your friends are good, they could end up catching and passing you on the last lap. Try to set the difficulty as hard as possible to slow your friends down, while you can still make top 3 for gold.
I think this might be the issue. I meet some people online racing, and they are the ones that fly by me at the end of the race.
If I understood you correctly, I have a problem with this approach. You are now having to increase the difficulty of the game (maybe you’re a beginner) to slow other cars down. That doesn’t make sense. A game is supposed to let you learn and progress at a pace with which you are comfortable. It should not force you to adjust the difficulty of the game because the AI is not working correctly.
I don’t have a setting that will slow down Worm,lol.
wreck 'em. its a drivatar…he’ll never know.

Lower levels of Drivatars will give you the most battles, the crashing and the ramming in turns. Set the level higher, like Pro, for instance, and then realize there are some people just plain faster than ourselves.
I’ve had them fly past me aswell, Ok have them set on Expert or Pro but on some tracks I’m 5 or 6 seconds quicker than than friends times yet their drivatars become pro’s and have a lot quicker times than they can actually do, plus they love to ram me off the track. Was on Sebring, was at least 4 seconds ahead on the first lap, second lap I’d increased it to over 10 seconds, beat my personal best, 3rd lap was killing my time by 1.4 seconds and low and behold one of them caught up to me and over took me on the last straight before the last bend, actually got a faster time than the leader on the leaderboard. Was Gob Smacked.
As always, Drivatar pace isn’t determined by how fast your friends are. My wife is horrible, but her Drivatar is as fast as that of anyone here because her Drivatar’s pace is determined by difficulty setting rather than by her skill.
‘Unbeatable’ is the only difficulty worth racing against for me. I find that if the drivatars are beating me, then I’m definitely racing on one of my weaker tracks (meaning I need to improve!).
Friends kicking your butt - tell me about it. The next one on my list is Lou and rivals always puts me against him. I haven’t won a rivals event in weeks. I think I have a chance at Bathurst B, though. Something to shoot for.

My biggest problem is the lack of laps in carrier, when i play in free play, i set the number of laps on 10 or 15, then you have the time to head up.
My only nice setting is unbeatable.
I have the opposite problem, my drivatars are too slow, even at Unbeatable, but I have no friends who play F5, and I certainly don’t belong to the top tier among players.
Well I have just resorted to wrecking my friends drivatar on the last lap. It’s the only thing that slow him down.
You can take responsibility for setting the level of skill the drivatars have that race against you. In career races, there is a “Drivatar Difficulty” tab on the menu that appears with the “Start Race” menu. You will pay a penalty in credits for each setting below “average,” but you will get a bonus for each setting above.
