in the Seattle circuit endurance race there is this Cobra car, everytime I have raced this the cobra comes in dead last because it does the pit stop every two laps. :lol:

I just find it real funny. by the end of the race I end up lapping the thing like 16 or 18 times if im in my F090/s.

I been doing the seattle endurance race over and over to get its F-1, so far no luck, I keep getting that damn esperante. :p
 
I love the races on Laguna Seca where the Pennzoil Nismo Skyline always spins out on the corkscrew, and it always goes into the sand on the last corner.

I assume you get past them elsewhere:lol: .

The Panoz is also a classic.

Even one or two of the F1s struggled there when I raced. They certainly had a very early braking point that furstrated me no end and almost kept the victory from me :banghead:

Aw come on. Use a regular car for that race instead. Try a Chipped and mufflered Truenoe Shigeno instead :trouble:

Anything that'll run below 1.45 on non pitstop laps will beat that race.

And yes.. That Cobra is completely retarded. Although is DOES go mighty fast.
 
Yes, if it only pitted once every ten laps it would've been a sure second place (to me of course)

Ha.. First time I did the Seattle Endurance was in my stock GT40 racecar. And I could barely hang on to the Cobra. So I was kinda expecting a beating. Until he went straight into the pit after lap 2.. Damn moronic piece of crap :D
 
I was racing on Seattle reverse 15 lapper.. by the second lap i noticed that one of the runners was not moving (Just at the end of the main straight)

As i came round to take the shicane at the end of the straight i seen the esparante stuck against the tire barrier trying to go forward but not going anywhere :lol:

I tried for 7 or so laps to free him but the racing was close
But on the 10th lap i managed to clip his rear wing thus freeing him..I guess i felt sorry for that poor wee esparante :lol:
Dumbass AI don't they know they have a reverse gear :lol:
 
actually i dont think ive ever seen the AI revurse! hahaha

hey they did revurse in gt1 and gt2 didnt they? im pretty sure they did
 
seeing the AI make screw ups in GT3 is so funny because its rare. most of the time the AI is perfect, so its cool to see it make mistakes. and when it does make mistakes they are hilarious. :D

Eh? The AI's useless! Apart from the mistakes already mentioned, it's often in the barriers after the tunnel at Cote d'Azur, and it's always too early on the brakes everywhere!

racing that in an F1 car is the stupidiest thing you may do. as for the AI, yeah, its preety lame. try laguna seca with the japanese championship. youll see more thatn half of the cars get lost on the sand. just ONE car survives. that Esperante thing also happened to me. also, in the superspeedway endurance, one of the cars got stuck in the little wall before entering the pits. there you have me, trying to free the stupid ruf from oblivion...

the AI used to get cars stuck in GT2 too, i remember endurance races seeing one dot not moving anymore...and i won two 10 lap races today when the leading AI car pitted on the 9th lap, and my tires were yellow, he had a chance!
 
Well, here's another bizarre thing. When I was racing the tracks in PD cup, the Corvette was there racing along with me and the others. It pitted after EVERY two laps!!! So the Cobra is not the ONLY car who pits every two laps. Just found another copycat car!

When you are doing a race on one of the special stages, if you knock an opposition car into the wall where the pit lane joins the track, something weird sometimes happens.

I did it in reverse, and, though it's quite rare, the Arta NSX I hit got stuck on the wall going backwards and forwards!
 
Do it on Cote D'Azure 78 laps...After the tunnel, come behind the car, then just ram it into the tires, it will get stuck until you bump it out...:)

I've done that too but it got out by itself about 10 seconds until I was about to lap him.
 
It did it in the Formula GT race about ten laps from the end...:lol: I nudged it out on the last lap.

Everything except # 1.:lol:
 
It could be #1 in some cases! :lol: ;) Depends on whom the artificial intelligence is based on...
