The problem with GPL in this area isn't that the grass is too slow, it's
too slippery. Just half a rear wheel on it means a *** oversteer
moment. I could live with that but the AI cars have "magic grip" which
allows them to recover miraculously from grass-tracking incidents, and
also "magic steering" which allows the cars to rotate as if pivoting
about their centers.

Isn't that what you should expect from a Formula 1 ?
Oh AI.... it's just so... <1996> ;-)

It's easily done from the***pit view, because the rears are wider than
the fronts.

As far as the AI goes, they are amazing when it comes to steering off
onto the grass and then back onto the circuit. They don't even have to
point the car back towards the track and yet it still comes back on in a
sideways kind of motion. ;-)
