N3: AI Bug?

Has anyone noticed the AI at South Boston? I was doing a 300 lapper, and
passing lapped traffic, but then I came across two cars, one low, the other
high, about a car length ahead. They stayed like that for 80 laps,
impossible to pass (I tried everything) and I'd probably still be there now
if I hadn't given one of them a little 'love tap'...Happened again a bit
later on in the same race, but I was prepared for it, and nudged 'em after 6
or so!!!

Teammates, I'd say.

Colin, it's called short track super glue. It's as if the inside car is
still unsure he he want to make the pass or not... Try passing on
outside, bumping the car on the high groove so that it moves faster.
That way, there's less chance that you will wreck. If that doesn't work
after a few laps, "insist" a little more, like the Intimiditor or me in
DTR ;)
