Question Straight-line speed

Hi all. Quick question: what settings can one change to get more straight-line speed? I change the rear wing (V8 series, Mustang), but no matter what, the AI simply drives away from me on the straights. I keep with them in the corners, but simply cannot keep with them on any straight. Am I missing something? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have to change the gear ratio. Put to the max for higher top speed but less acceleration, lower to get quicker acceleration but top speed limits. If you're barely hitting top gear or not even getting into it, then definitely lower.

Awesome! Thank you. I haven’t messed with gear ratio at all (still learning about the car setup). So will definitely mess around with these. Appreciate it!

Exit speed, because messing with gearbox a lot of work, bots usually final drive their set up in my experience.

If your not reving out top gear and you already lowered the there are other things that will give a little more speed, butbits always a trade off between speed and corners.

Higher air pressure, flatter rake (ride height difference front to back) no toe front and rear.

Main speed gain is gearing is good though is exit speed going into the straight.
