driver_consistency_to_dlong_lookahead_dev = 0.4
driver_consistency_to_dlat_lookahead_dev = 0.4

change the value in the line to this...

driver_consistency_to_dlong_lookahead_dev = 1.0   ;0.4
driver_consistency_to_dlat_lookahead_dev = 1.0    ;0.4

  the original value is there just so you don't forget the #.  the  ; is
like a rem statement
and everything after it gets ignored.

I have found that if I am patient, HOLD MY LINES, take my time and don't
stick my nose into bad passing situations, get in position quickly on
yellows and stay in line (otherwise I get wacked by AI wizzing by to get to
their spots), stay in the outside line when the AI is pitting and have a
good stable setup, I have had no problems with this game now that I have put
in those little tweaks.

I played with the AI and had some nice runs there, but for some reason
in the season mode it was pretty horrid...  I think half the laps, if
not more, were run under caution. the longest green flag run was like
15 laps at a time. usually they'd wreck on the restart or within 2-3
laps of it...

Well, I am not a loyal NASCAR viewer, but I have watched a few races
in my time.  I don't recall drivers running into others on purpose,
ever.

It's getting old!  I spent almost $1K upgrading my machine (N4 is
partly responsible for that) and all that happens now are fantastic
frame rates and AI drivers crashing into me faster and more often than
before :-)
