Indycar Pit Lane Crashes

Has anybody else noticed the computer driven car's lack of intelligence in the
pit lane in Indycar Racing? Last night I was cruising down the pits at about
65mph looking for my pit (which is not the easiest thing to spot) when Al
Unser Jr's car smashed into the back of mine, shunting me past my pit and
causing a yellow flag for everybody else to pit under, and losing me a lap int
the process. I have also stopped in the pitlane at the end of the race and had
the whole of the rest of the field crash into one big pile up behind me.

The general level of computer car intelligence is very good, much better than
that in F1GP/WC (ie no barging off of the track), but at least in F1GP the
computer cars don't ram you in the pit lane!

Apart from this little niggle, an excellent product.

Andy.

I dunno... I think that's a fairly accurate representation of Little Al.  8^)

I have had several likeways situations in F1GP   :-(
I think I have been crashed into from behind 5 or 6 times....
