Me and a friend want to have an online championship with some AI cars. We don't have time to race 100% distance so we're going to try 20-40%, but to make it more interesting we'd like to have to do pit stops. Is there any way to change the AI so they use fuel faster and hence have to pit early? Can we apply it to our cars too? Something in one of the ini files?

Most definitely-you want to change the "AI fuel use" to a higher figure in the track.ini file. As an aside, I have noticed that your car is sometimes more or less stingy with fuel than the AI cars are-usually no more than +/- 5 laps either way. You have to carefully tweak the above parameter to make everyone equal... JD
I've been running some 35% Grand Prix's, and usually about 4-5 get knocked out either from a wreck or mechanical failure. Don Burnette "David Indech" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9tv2cm$952$[email hidden]...
