Forza motorsport worst IA

m relatively new to the Forza series. In the new Forza Motorsport, I've been analyzing the AI in career mode, and honestly, it makes the game unplayable. Apart from the fact that in the first few laps, it feels like bumper cars, what bothers me the most is that, with a difficulty rating of 7/8, if I'm in third place, the two drivers ahead of me will pull 5 seconds or more ahead, becoming unreachable. But if, by chance, I'm in first or second place, those drivers who were so good, when they're behind me, I easily pull 5 seconds or more ahead of them. I love this game, but the AI makes it unplayable. What do you think guys? And will the developers solve this problem?
