So I am running the Dream Car Championship in B-Spec.
In the first 3 races, Bob won, albeit by fairly close margins.
So he does not have some uber powered monster car compared to the field.
So the 4th race comes up and it's the Lemans track (de la Sarthe) and it is shown as rainy, although the sky isn't very dark.
So I decide to put on Racing: Intermediate tires and hope it doesn't become a downpour.
They all line up on the grid and the race begins.
Within seconds I see Bob come flying out of the middle of the pack to the front of everyone.
He blazes through the first corner and the AI cars look like they are going 5mph.
By the end of his first lap, he has a 1/2 lap lead on the field! And this is a big track!
So, curious to what is going on, I switch the camera to the guy in last place and put it on bumper view. The chaos going on in front of him in laughable.
What are these morons doing?
And then my eye catches something at the top of his data: "Racing: Hard"
This idiot put dry weather slicks on during a rain storm!
Did the whole field do this? Indeed they did, as I checked out the data on several other cars.
Once they completed their first lap, what did they do?
Pit in to change to more appropriate tires?
Nope, just went along their merry way, sliding, spinning, and generally causing a mess of the place.
By the end of lap 2 Bob has caught the field and going to lap them.
I hope he's not going to get creamed in a pile up of spinning AI cars.
No worries, Bob slips and weaves through the field with the rain racing presence of Ayrton Senna!
As Bob is in the midst of completing his 5th and final lap, I see the entire field head into the pits.
Now at this point, the rain has actually begun to let up. I would stick with Intermediates, but you might be OK with slicks due to the abundance of straights versus corners on this course.
So what does the entire field equip themselves with during this futile pit stop? Racing: Rain
They must be off their rockers!
At the end of the 5 lap race, the rest of the field was still in the middle of lap 3!
Has anyone else seen such an egregious mistake on the part of the AI?
