The problem of AI cars

Hello,

   Will AI drivers ever satisfy me? They're either too slow and timid, not
knowing how to overtake and take corners, or they are incredibly aggressive
and have no qualms about ramming into the back of my car. I'm wondering if
there has been any racing sim whose AI drivers haven't driven you crazy at
some point?

    As an example, those GT1 cars at the highest AI settings in Sports Car
GT can be absolute maniacs at the start! Woe to you if you start in the
middle of a large pack at Donington. Another example, the cars in Dirt Track
Racing seem to only know about one line (but I've only tried the demo of
this game) and will not try another line to save their lives!

   I think that the last racing sim I tried which came close to having
reasonable AI drivers was the old DOS game, Indy Car Racing. But my memory
might be failing me.

Marko;

They (DTR AI) do the same in the retail version, from what I've seen.

With the exception of Surtees and McLaren, yes GPL is superb in this dept.

Well, don't sit in front of Surtees for 10% of the race then...
