AI let me win Spa 24min. with a one lap lead because they stopped 4 times to change tires.
I did the whole race on race hard, 1 stop for fuel and new tires.
Driving in rain was no problem with NO aids, so AI sure could also have done it with aids.
(I used a LMP equal to the leader, my best lap was ~2sec. better than his, so could have been a nice close race)
Yesterday:
First "S" race, Willow Springs 8laps, 100% stock MP4-12C on Sport Hard.
The two Veyrons in the race did a fastest lap 0,8 (on SS) faster than mine so would have been impossible to catch them (started 1st and 2nd, 15sec. Ahead of me), but those fools went in the pit for fuel at the end of 3rd lap with just over 1/4 left in the tank, so they could have made it with one stop after 4th. instead they had to pit again in 6th.
The AI MP4-12C had a fastest of ~3sec. slower than mine (on SH) so he would have been a real challenge.
Unfortunately he went in the pits for fuel at the end of 5th and LEFT ONLY REFULED TO 50% , so as you may have guessed he had to top up again at the end of 7th.
In the end a Murcielago that started 5th and only did one stop finished 2nd 10sec. behind me.
Today:
Same race, same car, same tires
Main opponent this time is a Ferrari Enzo.
Starts 15sec. ahead, his best a 1:22,6 on SS, mine a 1:21,0 so again promising for a close race.
First few laps i lose a few sec. on him, then start to gain on him.
(Usual AI slowdown crap, replay shows he does only 1:27/28 from 3rd lap on)
However, i'am behind him end of 5th lap but go in the pit for fuel and new tires.
After my stop i'am ~30sec. behind, i finish 6th lap.
Just as i go over start finish i see him coming out of the pits from his stop.
"Race on" in think, 2 laps to beat him.
I come closer and and in the last long fast bend i am right behind him.
"Nice" i think, one lap to find a spot to overtake him clean.
He drives in the pitlane again for a stop after just one lap on track.
Replay shows that he only had refuel to just over 1/4th on his 1st stop.
The really crazy thing is that he did not add any fuel on his last stop !
He only changes his 1 lap old SS tires for new SS tires and drives out of pit with fuel gage just over the red line !
I don't think he wold have made it because he is at zero when he goes in the last corner.
(Unfortunately replay stops because i am over finish with huge lead again)
Are you serious PD ?!?
Is it not enough that they slow down to let me catch up ?
Do they have also to sabotage their races with incredible stupid strategy ?
How hard can it be to let them take enough fuel to finish the race after 1st stop ?
How hard can it be to let them try to reach 1/2 race distance on 1st stint to be able to do the race with one stop ?
How hard can it be to let them stay on slicks if the player also does and if they can keep it on the track instead of changing tires every lap for no reason ?
That is really basic math and programming, old hardware can be no excuse for such a sloppy job.
This really has become a farce, very disappointing.
