That's something I've been wondering about - are tire temps simulated
for AI/computer drivers? They seem to go awful fast right off the bat.

as far as i can tell, i can drive faster than teh AI cars at teh
start of a race. funny thing is, i can almost can't feel if the tyres
are cold... i just drive by feel. but since i go faster than the AI
at the start of a Monza race (maybe just because they're novice level)
i figure they have the same cold tyres as me.
