A hell of a lot of case statements : ) hehe (simplistic, I know)

I am not impressed with the AI. The cars do the most stupid things
taking both of us out. They push one off. They fail to recognise that
one has slowed (not precipitously) and decide to ram one in the back
or side.
One glaring problem is that of cars alongside - one cannot see them.
There needs to be some sort of indication of a car alongside. Maybe a
coloured band increasing until the car comes into view or part of the
wing mirror reflecting the side not just behind.
Also one wheel touching the grass in the dry is no excuse to take one
off the track. Cornering in the dry is another area: if one rides the
hard shoulder of a corner one is spun off. I see the computer cars
ride them without penalty. The accelerator after an accident is
stupidly twitchy.
The graphics often look crazy. Someone should pay attention to making
the world look stable and realistic. The cars still float and jump up
and down in the mirrors.On track they do not follow the camber of the
track. Etc.
That said, it is an enjoyable game.
