The bane of public rooms (or, one of many, anyway!) is the game's inability to detect and punish aggressive weaving from a leading car on a trailing car. Do you think the game could be changed to achieve it?
I am particularly talking about straights. There's probably just too much difficulty in detecting a change of line in a corner whether it is deliberate or a loss of grip, but straights, that's another story!
The thing that occurs to me is the AI... They seem to be line aware, presumably there's some mechanism in the code to hold them to a line when two or three abreast. Could this same line be used to detect when a player car veers from one line to another repeatedly? And, does it need to know proximity to a trailing car to penalize it, as opposed to a trailing car that can make as many moves as it wants to on a leading car on a straight?
Online is awash in players that weave like madmen, or force a clean passing car off track on straights. Cutting is reasonably dealt with, divebombing too, if contact engenders a pass, but weaving and force-offs on straights seems consequence-less. Do you think it could be addressed?
