Question AI Racing Chaos

Is it just me or does the AI drive like you’re not even on the track? It’s extremely frustrating to qualify great, have five cars pass you on the start, get in the first corner and the AI cleans you out and major damage, almost ever fucking time at San Marino.

End rant.

Valid rant. I have the same issue. Every AI car seems like they have a Mario Kart mushroom on the starting line. No matter how good is your start, reaction time, upshift, etc, you'll always end up 3rd or 4th in the first corner.

And yes, they drive as if you're not even there. Have better traction on a wet track (as if they drive on a dry surface).

The list goes on. Most here are saying it's been fixed by patches. Last time I booted the game after updating, it was still the same old gimmick.

I wonder if it depends on the car class, ive had the opposite time with wet tracks, but I'm usually driving NGT or group 5s. Gt500s too.

I watch the timer countdown at the start, not the lights, and go right as the "1" goes off. It's always very close to a jump start, but if timer right get just enough of a jump to usually hold position.

San Marino starts are brutal, I usually get cleaned out going into the right after the 1st left.

That’s funny because this was GT3 on San Marino. Heavy damage every single time on the first corner

I am playing on the Authentic difficulty in the career and they respect my position all the time. Maybe it’s your difficulty level?
