I have come to the conclusion that it's a very intricate algorithm PD uses to change the AI's pp, rubberbanding, tires, and overall aggressiveness to suit the user's driving style and competence. I've seen them one-up my fastest time to the point of ridiculousness after having run much slower when I was sandbagging.

I find that if you overtake the field in half the total race time the AI won’t really up its pace to make the race difficult. However, if you have a car that get up to the top 2 leaders with one or 2 laps to go, the AI will up its pace to make it competitive.

I guess that makes sense though. If you are in a car that can catch the leaders within 5 laps of a 10 lap race, no amount of logical pace increase by the AI will be able to catch you. But if you take a competitive car that takes 8 laps to catch up to the leaders, they can increase their pace by a few seconds a lap and give you a run for those last 2 laps.

ngl this one took a while to beat. Stock Evolution VI GSR T.M. SCP '99 with only one change, RS Tires.

Loving this track in reverse. Coming down through those chicanes instead of up feels so good when you nail it.

* If you don't have it already the Evolution VI GSR T.M. SCP '99 is currently in the Uses Car lot.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think I found the ultimate Race Event and Car combo for a CRB challenge.

This week's Monza WTC 800 in a Corvette C7 Gr.3.

Not only do you have to contend with fuel and tires (which in this car is more than difficult), but the AI is also crazy hard to navigate. Every race is different and every race at least one car screws up. You just don't know what's going to happen.

3 days ago I took a brand new Corvette C7 Gr.3 with zero kms on it out on the track. 1773km later and countless restarts I finally did it. Just getting a win (without cutting the track) was hard enough. But getting that CRB was a bitch.
