I have an interesting suggestion. We should be able to teach bob how to drive according to how we drive.

Let him take a car out, then we drive the car, bob sees what we do and adapts himself to drive like we do. Im sure there is a way to do this.

What do you guys think?
 
That is how it was in Forza 1 if I remember. You could teach him by doing a test on different corner types. And based on how well you take them, your drivers takes them the same. I was terrible at chicanes back then, so my driver was terrible haha
 
Bob would go nuts if he "sees" me driving ANY car... I don't want my bob thinking he is a bad driver, i let him do his thing, no need to embarrass him :dopey:

THis is correct. The FM1 Drivatar was a brilliant touch, because YOU drove the lines he would learn, and it was quite well developed.

As far as I recall aprt of the core impetus behind developing FM1 at all came from the British team that developed the Drivatar AI. It is a pity more games never followed that same path - but I seem to recall some serious patents being granted for a lot of their tech behond the Drivatar that may be the reason no other gamed have been able to pursue the concept as hard as we would like.

Being able to "teach" Bob would really add the dimension that I think Kaz is clutching at.
 
I'd actually like feedback from "Bob". If he prefers a looser handling car, or thinks he could use more top end speed for the race, it would be cool if he let us knew what he wanted. Just my opinion though.
