I haven't noticed any draft effect when following
the other cars. Maybe these types of cars don't
create much of a draft. Has anyone else been able
to draft other cars?

Yes, I have. When in the BMW and trailing another I can stick with him, but
it seems he has more HP than me and starts to pull away, but its only for a
split second because I have to get setup for the next corner. To truly test
this we need to have a longer straight.

I think your right. I've looked for and haven't noticed any drafting
effect. I can't imagine there shouldn't be.

If he's pulling away, your not really drafting
him, are you? :)

What you described is exactly what I am talking
about. Even stuck to another cars bumper, they
are able to pull away, even at high speed.

Hehe didn't come out as I meant it I guess. What happened was I would stick
with him for more than enough time to notice him pulling me, but he would
SLOWLY pull away, but very slowly, then i would have to brake for T1.

Yeah Adam, but if it's another BMW, you should have to lift to avoid rear
ending it when drafting.

Is the Saleen faster than the BMW? I think it has more hp but I can draftt him
oon the longest straight and just maybe slingshot past him before turn 1.
Either that or I rear end him 8-). Can't wait for the final product. I want to
see how accurate Laguna Seca is since I sometimes do time trialling there. Oh
and how do I make a quick start? All the cars seems to smoke my M3.

It is hard to judge since the AI takes the last corner onto the straight
slower than you can.
The best judge is if two equal cars exit the last turn at equal speeds. If
the car behind can then gain on the car in front and whip out to pass then
there is drafting.
