Rubber Band Effect in GT4?

[Caligula1]

What is the rubber band effect like in GT4?

Is it like GT1, 2 and 3 whereby AI would slow down and speed up unrealistically to match the player, or does the AI run in a more "true" fashion.

Would really appreciate any comments on this

Rubber band effect?

Do you mean catch up mode or something?

I don't have the game but a Daihatsu Sirion could accelerate to catch a DB9 could it?

Many people class it as the "rubber band effect" basically the slower you drive the AI slows down and the faster you drive the faster the AI drives.

This has been very dominant in all GT games.

For evidence of this, start a race and race as well as possible then write down AI race times.

Then re-run the race and sit on the grid for a minute and then compare the AI times.
