N2 psycho drivers

The AI's are psycho. Every single time I get a nose under them they cut me off big time. Usually causing a wreck. It is kind of frustrating if you know what I mean. I could understand if only Jimmy Spencer did it, but they all do it. It is great to have them drive aggressively but for some reason they can't tell when you pull underneath them going into a corner. Just ***in'!!!!!!!!!

I have found that if I can get into the turn with at least my bumper at their door, they will give me room. If I am under their rear quarter-panel they will sometimes come down on me. If I just barely get my nose under them, they will almost allways cut me off. I am ready to brake and let them come down unless I am at least halfway by them in the turn. Patience is the key here. Pick your spot to pass. If you stay on them, they will usually make a mistake and slide up giving you a chance to pass. -- Regards, Ed Medlin

I guess the same thing might happen in a real race. After a couple of such incidents you would learn not to put your nose under another driver ;-) Cheers, Richard (who has learned the lesson, but just isn't patient enough to apply it!)

The AI is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Its bad when they stupidly run into you. I was racing at Bristol and Bodine decides to pit and take me with him. The idiot stuffed me into the wall. I'm not moanin but somebody needs to fix this. Oh no now Nascar is going to fine me $10000 :) -- "To all you villans out there I say, knock off all that evil!" -The Tick The Rusty Wallace Miller Lite stock car, awsome when opened up! GO#2!

Change your driving style to compensate for this weakness in the AI. If you get your nose under them early enough they will give you room to race into the corner (at most tracks). If you say Sunday's Bristol race you will have seen many times when a driver got their nose under a car going into the corner, but backed off. They were not there early enough. You will have to learn the same thing. Putting your nose under a car too late entering a corner will cause a wreck in the sim and in the real world. Actually in the real world the "gentlemen's agreement" is that one is supposed to have the nose past the middle pillar of the outside car before entering the corner. If not the "nosee" is to back off and try next time around. Otherwise the corner and the groove belong to the "nosed". Of course this rule does not apply to Dale Earnhardt or Jeff Gordon, because it is a "gentlemen's agreement". ;-) -- **************************** Michael E.

There aren't any gentleman on a race track! You didn't hear Rusty complain last week when Jeff bumped him and got him loose on the last lap to win the race. Why? Because he and everyone else on the track would've done the same thing. Those on the track that wouldn't have done it are the ones that finish in the back every week. Just my opinion *************************************************************** * Scott Davis - Singer/Songwriter and a heck of a nice guy * * * ***************************************************************

If Rusty would've ended up stuffed in the wall underneath 5 other cars you'd have heard some complaining. I'll admit that I'm not the greatest N2 player, but I find the problem the original poster talked about more often results the mass destruction of 10 cars than not. That doesn't happen near as frequently in reality. --
