But perhaps the game is teaching you that on online there will be guys hunting your tails =] As I said earlier to Svennoj, the way to go on the challenges seems to do early breaking when you want to pass (so you don't risk a late breaking, passing and them have the AI hitting you) and late breaking when avoiding being past (or very early breaking while closing the door to be completely sure the AI won't be able to pass you, this is how some F1 racers do to make sure they take out the wind of the car behind). |
I guess the game is trying to teach me to ignore the driving line and stay close to the side of the apex while entering the corner, then go wide accelerating out. The problem with the AI is that it nudges up to your inside in the corner against the back of your car, which causes the spin out. I don't know if that's a valid move in motorsport, maybe it is. Pretty shitty though. Basically the AI does as I'm suggesting which intersects with the path of any car taking the corner in a proper way. If your inside the pack that's what will happen when you fend of the AI behind you, you'll be hitting the car in front.
But true, that's what people do online, using you as their guard rail to get around a corner. Which requires the same solution, be on the opposite side of the driving line when entering the corner to keep the door closed. Ofcourse you won't be making up any time to the car in front.
Late braking didn't help, the AI still used me as a bumper unless I go off track on the corner exit. One of the challenges I had enough of the AI and did the same to them which worked really well as it always has. Using cars to get around corners is something I wanted gone from GT. Funny thing, I did get big penalties for driving like an ass, yet those don't count for completing the challenge. I was officially in 3rd after the penalties, still got gold for passing the finish line first. I thought GT Sport was supposed to teach good driving!
