LOL! Quick - don the asbestos underwear for that answer, Adam!

I don't agree. Just name a few *simulators* with cheats and we'll
see...but honestly: I really don't know a game (besides GPL) what
can be called a simulator ;-)
Also, man mailt sich...

You obviously haven't played Indycar Racing 1 and 2, Nascar Racing 1 and 2,
CART Precision Racing or even Superbike World Championship!

I've got only one real complaint about the AI cars on GPL: They are stupid as
hell when it comes to making outbraking passes. They don't just go around me
when they brake late, they rear-end me hard enough to flip both of us!
Sounds like some overtaking manovers under braking I have tried when
exiting draft, anbd really locked the brakes hard.

You're lucky to get even THAT far! My computer is so slow I can't have ANY
over cars on the track!

I keep reading complaints about stuff like this, but I have very rarely
experienced it. In hundreds of races against the AI, I have only been
rear ended twice during a braking maneuver (both times by Jochen Rindt
at Kyalami).
I think the AI in GPL is really first rate. You can actually see the
differences in the drivers. The other day I was in fourth place at
Mosport, holding up Bandini and Amon. Bandini, the more aggressive of
the two drivers, hounded me until he found an opening and blew by me
into the final sequence of turns (passing off-line with late braking).
Amon on the other hand, never took the gamble and I was able to hold him
off for the last ten or so laps. Great stuff.
Note: I am running with unmodified AI .ini files. For you guys who are
experiencing weird AI behavior, have you tweaked these files? Perhaps
the tweaks are causing the poor AI driving. Just curious.

You know, I think he likes that kinda stuff...I locked them up going into
turn 4 at the Glen, and he smacked into me...lucky **** landed on his
wheels, me on my head
