And a lot of stuff on this list have much higher priority than AI in game which advertises as "Online racing simulator"
So it wont happen any time soon.
Which is kinda disappointing because personally I prefer racing ofline but with current AI you need to race with sphygmomanometer attached so you can turn off the game when your blood pressure raises to a dangerous level.

I must admit I missed the "online" part on the advertisement.

My problem is learning the game. I like racing against others, but its my first time racing with a wheel so I need a lot of training before I go multi (otherwise the online community will really get to hate me lol).

I know what you mean about the blood pressure. Holy crap. I recorded one of my fav AI examples in this short vid (I am in the red car being "overtaken" by the yellow AI car):

I guess I will just have to bite the bullet and go online soon...

Its fascinating that they consider the AI to be virtually complete.

As a new player, it makes the game unplayable. I bought a racing game which only works as long as I am way ahead or way behind the AI. If I am actually "racing" then they just push me off the track. Its ridiculous, I dont even recall GP1 in the early 90s having an AI like this... at least it could hit the brakes once in a while.

This should be at the top of their fix list.
