I agree that GT racing is far more aggressive than open wheel, however, I
still find the AI in SCGT stupid. I don't think the AI is modelling this
aggressiveness when it simply fails to respect my racing line and cuts me
off causing a severe crash, or taps my rear quarter entering a turn when I
clearly have the lead and there is no room to pass inside. I watch the
replays, it's the AI's fault most of the time. I still maintain it is
poorly coded AI that just runs a race line routine and you must hope you are
not in the way. I don't think the AI cars "see" your car and drive
accordingly. Respecting the line of the other driver is a basic AI issue
that was missed. I don't mind occassional positional fighting that is
overly aggressive, this is constant disregard and stupidity and simply
unrealistic. Just look at all the first lap crashes on turn 1 of Vegas.
Almost every race there is a multi-car crash at turn one. I usually stay
back and weave through the mayhem :-).
