Yeah i think the GT team can learn alot about AI from CM, they have done well with the AI in Grid because they seem to actually challenge you and as said they make mistakes, but they also drive really well on the higher difficulty levels. A big part of this is the fact that you can start in any position on the GRID, so you are always in the action/race (wasnt this a big part of their selling point before release, seems they were telling the truth). GT just becomes boring because its the same stick to the line AI and you never real like you're racing them, just passing them. The damage also adds alot to the racing. theres nothing like braking hard to avoid a collision with a spinning car, especially from the cockpit with wheels and body parts flying everywhere, and the smoke!! In GT, if the AI does make a mistake, they get strait back in line, eventless, or spin out of the way. No fun. I'm a GT lover and have been since GT1, but they AI has not really progressed, but it's time they improved this. Take a leaf from Codies book.

I bought a copy of GT5P a couple weeks ago(Japanese VErsion) for $20 shipped. I will tell you right now that if I had paid $40 for it I would have been pissed
The graphics are great and all But I don't know of ANY car even running on dead cylinders that will not accelerate or bog down when the wheels are turned past 10degrees. That had me so put off. Bought a Stang andwas telling myself...yeah, good powerful V8 in light weeight ride means down the road quick. Not so, I'll take the corner spin outs in GRID any day before that crap. Atleast with that spin out probability in GRID you know to take the corners a bit more seriously. I'd rather a spin out cost me a race more than poorly bogged down car. I also like the fact that the AI isn't perfect either. Nothing burned me up more than a predictable robot like AI. Atleats Grid gives the feeling that the rest of the cars are being driven by imperfect beings as well and are just as prone to spin out and rollovers as I am.👍
