If the front is unstable, this might be a result of excessive negative
camber, so you could try reducing this & stiffening up the anti-roll bars to
compensate, but if you're not to comfortable with changing the setup or
can't feel the difference, just concentrate on coming off the brakes more
smoothly, and if you have split axis pedals, do as Kevin suggests and add a
little throttle to help stability. It works really well, but you need to be
smooth and consistent, speed will come with practice.
What's your brake bias set to at the moment? Are you using the standard
setups?

There's numerous things they can do, you'll never be able to do.

Similarly, there are things you can do that they can't.
Also in your setup, check to see if it's symmetrical.

Also keep in mind, the AI has a whole different physics model(or lack
of)then you do. There's numerous things they can do, you'll never be able
I'm getting my lap times down at Silverstone, but in a six car AI raceI
can't stay with the two fastest cars. One problem I've noticed isthat the AI
cars brake later than me on most corners, and manage tostay on the track. If
I try to brake later (which means I have tobrake harder), I find the front
end of the car starts squirming allover the place. Usually results in
stepping on to the grass followedby a spin. Is this a brake bias problem?
How can I retain carstability with later/harder braking?Thanks.--Cpl Hicks
Drafting is the first thing that comes to mind, you benefit from
following other cars, the AI do not.

As a general rule, the top AI will always be very hard to beat, but not
impossible. They use your previous best times for that track as an
indication of how fast they should go, but I don't think this changes during
the race, so if you've improved, you should be able to beat them.
I wouldn't worry too much about beating the AI, they are designed to try to
beat you, but mainly to prepare you for the online races. Although they
don't use the same physics as you, the line they follow and their braking
points should be good enough that you can learn from them.
Can you give an idea of the track/laptimes you're doing? Can you
consistently do 1:30 laps at Monza, for example? I can't find you on
GPLRank.
