[Can't believe I am starting one of these threads...]
I raise this issue because I have noticed that the AI in NR2002
often can turn a corner at a speed at which I am in the wall (or the
bushes, on a road course). What factors affect turning radius?
I am sure of course that setup is critical, including things such as
weight distribution and so on, as well as "driving aids" which
actually may not be of a benefit past a certain point (including
the ability on the part of the driver).

Don't compare what you can do in the car to what the AI can do. They have
their own set of physics rules.
You should only compare what you can do with what other humans can do.

well, Car physics computation take a lot of cpu for 1 car ( player car
), so imagine for 40cars .... :)

I think they don't have any "physics" just polyline path :)

Like Sebasti�n said (and he knows his stuff :) ), AI cars normally get
treated differently, more simplistically, since it would cost CPU time
if you would do the scientific thing.
A ghost-lap replay already becomes quite convincing. And costs very
little. :)
Also accounts for braking (and driving), I'm afraid.
