The AI guys can be pretty dirty sometimes, have you ever dedicated a whole race to just trying to get even? Something cool like ridin em off into the dirt or making em smack a barrier :dopey:? or did you come out on the worst end? My goal is to try that next time out, win or lose, just for the fun of it.
 
bob pushed other AI car in pit lane

or bob pused the other AI away from pit lane (the AI driver spin around @ long straight and run out of fuel later in the lap[4std nordschleife])
 
It smashed up my car pretty bad, but i let an AI go past me before a hairpin and instead of breaking i went straight into the side of his car, flipped him over the barrier and he disappeared.

My goal in GT5 now is to make that happen. I always think when i hit the suzuki escuda that it's just gonna give up and backflip out of the race.
 
Smashing into the back of cars that cut me off in my X2010 is always fun.
I wonder what they might be thinking when they're travelling at 150km/h and pull into the line of a car going 440km/h. They'll have time when they're skipping along the gravel into the tires!!
 
I hit a car full speed at the end of the Mulsanne Straight in an X2010 and sent it launching into the sand, came back around on the 2nd lap and he was still trying to dig out :lol:

Ramming them into the pits is always good fun too.
 
had a tuned SLS driving like a jackass on Cape Ring... he clipped my R8 the wrong way and damaged the back bumper.. this pissed me off.. so i stayed with him and then realized the second Pit Lane (the one for Cape Ring North) was coming up.. so i just pushed up on his door just enough to line him up with the closed off entrance (so that the R8 wouldnt hit it too) and drove him into the blockade.. pretty funny.. to just see that car suddenly there one second and just gone the next

I was running the Super GT Seasonal event and I set to enter the first curve on High Speed Ring so I decided to make the pass using the high side of the curve. The two AI cars decided they weren't going to let me pass so they slid up the track. The trailing car pulled off a PIT on me and as I started to lose the back end, the car in front slid up and took out my front bumper. I did an immediate 180 and slammed the outside wall and continued to roll down the straightaway 8-10 times before stopping on my roof. My revenge was found a couple laps later as I got the inside and rode them to the wall.

In the FGT series, not a race goes by without me getting spun out by the AI and it's usually at the most inopportune time for me (like lap 17-19 or when it's by a difficult turn). It's as if there's a piece of code missing allowing the AI to maneuver around your car when you turn.

I still think the best "AI" moment was watching my Bob drift a FF car. I have no clue how Bob was able to manage that since it was bright and sunny.
 
A HUGE complaint from myself, at first, was AI opponents behind you disregarding your presence, and ramming you off the track. This seemed to be lessened with the second update, and eliminated when I invested in the DFGT. The wheel enabled much better recovery.
 
I wiped a few Nascars out on Daytona because they kept trying to pit me. Good fun smashing them into the barriers then wathcing the carnage unfold in the rear view mirror :)
 
I'd messed up the Nascar race at Daytona so turned round and went for the head ons. I hit one guy and from my view I could see him turning round on the track, then the rest of the field turned up and t boned him into oblivion, causing a huge and very funny pile up. If the replays had ff/rew I would've video'd it for Youtube.
 
Has to be Top Gear Special Event on Advanced where the 6th Kubelwagen gets taken out by the first Schwimmwagen at the first corner. It happens everytime lol.
 
Best one ever is the Nurburgring race in FGT ... none of the AI can take the last chicane and makes that race easy to win :D

That is the only coded wreck in GT5 I believe. That one will always happen in the advanced test. Others can happen but the first one WILL happen and it is very humorous.

The funniest incident I have had with the AI is running at the F1 'Ring in the FGT series. In a 20 lap race, two cars managed to DNF somehow by going off their favorite chicane corner and wedging themselves into each other (or at least I thought). They actually were just sitting there, almost as if the cars were abandoned, both with ample opportunities to just drive off, but they never did and fell 8 laps down. The sad part to this? It actually made the race competitive near the end (if you call 20+ seconds competitive) as the remaining 9 cars decided to take the chicane properly and not fly into the abandoned cars.
 
I was running and event, not even sure which one, but it was on Tokyo R246. I was in the Minolta and one of the AI was in the 787B. I had run it a few times and noticed that on lap 4 of every race, no matter what, that 787 managed to cut my lead, whatever it was, in half. Sometimes he caught me, sometimes I held him off.

So I ran it one more time and into turn one on lap one, I tagged him. He hit the outside tire barrier, launched into the air and landed on his roof. I went on to somewhat easily win that one.

He finished 6th out of 12. Superhuman sometimes, those AI drivers.
 
Historic Racing Cup at Monaco. It was my fault as I made a mistake in the Mark IV and the 2J got in front. It was just me and the 2J at the front, the rest were quite a way behind. Next lap, with the 2J in front out of the last turn, I decide that I'm not gonna bother restarting this race, so I'll have to take action, quick.
Crossing the line at the start of the final lap, the 2J is about to brake for turn 1. I decide not to brake. A couple of seconds later I connect the front of my Mark IV with the side of the 2J and the 2J spins and crashes into the far left corner of turn 1, its front facing the wall. I came off better though, I was facing the wrong way, but no wall in front. Quick U-turn and I'm off leading the race and the rest of the pack catch up moments later. The 2J finished in 7th.
 
I was about to lap a GT tuned 350Z on the Nurburgring 4H endurance when its rear wheels touched the grass exiting the Flugplatz corner. I was trying to make a clean pass, but the AI started to swerve violently as I was overtaking it. The AI then swerved into me, but I managed to get away without crashing. As I looked behind me, I saw the 350Z spinning out of control, resulting in it rolling over twice. It was quite spectacular, but I thought it was funny at the time.
 
when i was doing the truck race, i looked in the rear view mirror and saw one of the trucks catch some air. ON A BANKED OVAL ಠ_ಠ
