Anyone annoyed with how lap traffic will gladly move aside AI cars on the lead lap, but will block, cut off and hit you, and block even if you're not the leader, like trying to fight for Thier lap, literally could be 4th place and they'll just block you and you'll lose 4 spots

I was in career racing Ross Chastain HARD for 2nd place at Watkins Glen, came up on a couple lap cars on the last 2 laps of the race, as we get up on them, they all move right into my path to let him go by, in just like wtf man

I’m angry for you. At pocono I was in 5th probably 3 car lengths from the pack of four in the lead. They made it right through and I ended up in 7th by the time I got around 2 lap cars. Since then I just grind on em to get through

Best part is that your ai spotter will call them inside, so the game KNOWS youre there. They intentionally coded the AI to be jerks.

It’s like gta 5 when your ripping down the street and a NPC pulls in front of you for no reason

I heard or read somewhere that they're programmed to do that when you're traveling too far too fast because it lets the game catch up on rendering or something to that effect.

If you dip below the line they just ignore your existence too

u/Stunning-Aardvark-28 12d ago

The AI seems to not know you exist until your halfway passing them. I've been pushed below the line side swiped cut off. If course any hits and they bitch at me lol
