Why is the AI (artificial intelligence) so rubbish?
Who knows, but it reeks doesn’t it? There seems to be no real way to cope with this, except to learn what the other cars do, and avoid any of there stupid overtaking maneuvers. This is the main area that the game falls down in, since everything else has been really well written. One of the areas in which to pay most attention is the pit lane, since the computer cars will quite happily pull out in front of you as you do 150 mph down the lane and so cause a collision. Conversely, watch your mirrors as you pull out since they appear quite quickly if you are in the last pit. On the track, they basically follow the ideal line unless slipstreaming. If you can get your front wheels ahead of theirs they do move over so perfect your drafting technique!
