Something that happens quite often during warmup laps in GPL is A.I.
that drive around the course very slowly, as if they've blown an
engine or something... I rarely notice this during a race only during
warmup, but its a bit annoying to be flying along turn 3 at Mosport
and come upon an A.I. car doing around 45MPH,, is there a resolution
for this..?

thanx

Welcome to the wonderful world of racing, where sometimes there are
slow-moving cars in inconvenient places :^)

Honestly, not sure if there's a cure for it - I see it sometimes, but not so
often that it seems like a problem.

usually during practice there are about 2 or more cars that put along
like they've damaged something,, oh well.. it keeps the reflexes in
tip top shape, hahah

They're bedding in their brake pads.

Quite true - didn't mean to make light of such a real-life situation, of
course.

Apologies for the late follow up, but it's been a while since I visited
ras.  Anyway, there is a cure, as it annoyed me also when I'd be on a
good qualy lap only to be thwarted by the slowpoke AI.  Long time now
but I believe it's the line in the gpl_ai.ini file:

slow_lap_speed_adj_coeff =

The nearer to 1.0 that you set it, the faster they go during their
warmup lap - hopefully, if I got it correct.  :)
