I've totally had it with b-spec now, my looser driver just decided to use full accelaration in a corner, sending him into a wall, where he decided to wait till every car on the track had passed (regardless of the 4 second lead) before attempting to find the track again :ouch:

Has your b-spec driver/AI cars in a race done some totally insane or is this just me?
 
What level is your driver? If he's at a low level then don't complain.
 
This is exactly the same thing your last thread about B spec was.

Did you not read the comments and advice people kindly left for you..???

Why are you posting ANOTHER thread..

:confused:
 
When I gave him a way overpowered FR car for his skill level mine did that too. But if you match the car to the driver he behaves himself pretty well. Plus keep him out of the all red zone and you may have more success. My Bob is now level 36 and I am fairly sure he can drive a lot better than I can. :sly:
 
Mine does the exact same thing, and he's level 22...
 
Mine used to do that at lower levels - floor it when entering a corner. Nice big smoky donut. They use extreme caution when on the straightaways though.
 
u need to pace down if is on red is going to use full acceleration in a corner must of the time

Come to think of it your right 👍
I was just annoyed when this JUST happened to me, i hates long races.
Yes i reads the comments, and now my driver is a higher level as suggested

Please Delete/lock/hide/pretend thread never existed :ouch:
 
expect the AI to behave like a RACING DRIVER not a GAME PLAYER! when cars are approaching at 200mph, wouldn't you think twice before heading back to the track from 0mph? even 70mph highway has a ramp.
 
Braindead Bob still does that to me... :ouch:
 
Even at the highest level I expect Bob will suck. Surely the AI you race in A-Spec are at max. level, in the extreme series at least? And they suck.

It seems the AI was programmed by people who know how to get a computer generated car to drive around a track but know nothing about getting a car around a track fast.

Surely the AI should brake once for each turn? Instead they brake far too soon, reach cornering speed, then accelerate to the apex before braking again at or just after the apex before exiting. WTF?

They also brake on turns that are easily full throttle (Daytona Speedway) and brake on straights if they come up behind a car they should have just overtaken.

Well no, if pd wanted too they could make an ai that calculated the exact limit of grip and drove to that, they would never crash because their reactions would be instantaneous, and also making an ai like this would be easier than one you can beat.

Maybe in Tsukuba, turn 2? It's his 'Bermuda Triangle' for mine.

And it's Artificial Special Stupidity... ASS :-P
 
Stupidy on the managers side :)

Test drive the cars first.

I can win the Historic Racing Cup with a Miura, Bob can't even win with a full tuned Toyota 7.

Six. That's how many laps it took my driver to pass the number one spot.
Fifteen. That's how many seconds ahead he was of second place after cruising the remaining laps in the blue section of the meter.
Four hundred sixty-three. That's how many times I hit the overtake button.

Seriously, this guy can crank out some pretty impressive lap times, but when it comes to passing another driver, he has no clue what to do. He'll just speed up and ram the guy, negate his speed difference, THEN try and pass as he goes into a corner, realize it's too late and back off.

The guy in front of him spun out, SPUN. OUT. So what did he do? Stop the car and let the guy back in front, of course. Next I suppose he's gonna slow down to let a kid with a ball cross the street.

Everyone keeps saying it's stupidity on the managers side but it isn't. At some point, there's only so much we can do.

I mean honestly, I pretty much suck as a driver on most games. I love power-sliding and don't like to ease on the gas. Racing lines are stupid to me and if I can go off the track, I will. But even though I don't drive too well, I manage to win almost every race with little issue. I don't generally ram other other cars and I don't rub the walls around corners. I also mostly only use ABS and TCS at 1, no other assists. (except some races) I can use a car that's less powerful than my opponents and still win, yet my B-spec driver (who's level 21 at this point) can't win with a car that's 300 hp more than his opponents. (how he managed to not out-accelerate the other cars in the British lightweights with a fully tuned lotus Esprit V8, I'll never ever know.)

Exactly, when he get in front, you still need to Pace Up otherwise he'll get too cool, but when it comes to overtaking, he rams them, lifts off, or brakes behind them.
And then when he overtakes out of a corner, my driver simply lifts off till he gets re-overtaken by the driver he'd just overtaken.

Yeah but most of the time, once he's in the lead, it's a sure win no matter how cool he gets. It's getting him the lead that's the annoying part. If he's not in first by the end of the first straightaway, it's usually gonna be three or four laps of "Pass him you ****! No! Don't hit the **** brakes! Why the **** would you slow down there!? Oh my God! I know an 80 year old lady who drives faster than you!"

The idiot brakes at Daytona for crying out loud!
My driver is a 100% cool one.
So a cool driver that gets cool when in the lead can make a 15 seconds lead turn into having to block and defend from the AI.
 
My Bob (lvl36) just surprised me once again. He was racing the British lightweights on Top Gear track and was leading the race with half a lap. It was last lap (6/6) and Bob was approaching the first hairpin when a car rammed to the side of his Tuscan Speed 6 and guess what he decides to do? He turns the wrong way and goes with the cars that are still on the 5th lap and is immediately dropped to 10th place. Didn't know this was possible.
