The worst thing ist they not only slow down to let you catch up again, the keep getting slower and slower until you pass them.
You can perfectly see it in the replay if you switch to the leading car and watch his laptimes.
I did it on serveral races, best you can see it in the 10min. Race in Int. B , Rome.
First i took the BMW 1 tii, and did about the same lap times as the leader with the M3GTR (~1:22)
So i was always 10-12sec. behind. First 3/4 laps he did 1:22, then he started to slow down 1:25, 1:29, 1:30.
7th lap i closed up and passed him and he started to go faster again.
Next i took the NSX-R, i was behind him in 4th lap but did not pass ( stayed ~1sec behind)
First he was driving ok, i could not keep up at the straights, but he started breaking way to soon and rolling around corners, after 3 laps of this game i had to take back throttle to 70% on the straight to not pass him. Last 3 laps we did 1:26, 1:27, 1:29.
Next i did the same but this time passed him in 4th lap and kept on going fast, guess how his laptimes looked like in the replay ?
1:22, 1:22, 1:22, 1:22, 1:22, 1:22, 1:22
This is really FUBAR, worst thing ever in my opinion.
Makes the whole carrer mode kind of pointless, why spent hours doing races i cant lose no matter how bad i drive or how bad my car selection was ?
I could understand it a tiny little bit if they would only slow down until you are lets say 2sec. behind them and then continue with 100%
Would make it more easy for newcomers and lets be onest, many races are impossible to win on a really equal car if you only have 3 laps and are 10sec. back and last on start.
But slowing down more and more until you pass them is so wrong...
It is just against all rules of sportsmenship and competition and terrible to have in a "driving simulator"
This comes to mind:
"Let Michael pass for the championship"
I've trying to look at the AI lap times to see if they were changing throughout the race, but in the races I've done so far I didn't see a change in their times. I will try that Rome race.
There is a lot of complaints about the GT AI, it's sad to hear they are making the AI worse on purpose. GT6 is a great driving simulator, but it looks like it's a terrible racing simulator.
