I'm not that good fellas. I did cut a corner here or there and I definitely was blocking the AI whenever I could (I guess that IS racing though, LOL). Here's a vid I did. Trust me, it wasn't like I was just having my way with them. I did get off to a good launch at start too.



What sucks is the game has a cockpit view but not in replays. I raced in cockpit view.
I got so much of that game to finish though. I almost feel guilty for not finishing it.

Nice work t.o. I might have to give hard another whirl this weekend. I have been mostly racing semi pro.
 
Was that the hardest setting t.o.?

I seem to struggle to keep up. Running perfect lines keeps me equal but obvious little errors drop me back.
I noticed some off line manoeuvres there which in theory should cost you time.

I haven't tuned my rides though.

Well done anyways. Annoying fact about AI is that there poor off the line.

Great game though.

I did that race back in April so I forgot exactly where I had everything set BUT fortunately I made a note of it in the video so:

"Zandvoort 6 Lap race in the Dode Viper Competition Coupe
Professional difficulty with A.I. set to "Very Hard"
No assists (no TC, ABS etc. all off)
Damage, Tire and Fuel all on.

Fanatec Wheel with Clubsport Pedals.

Filmed with Videocamera so not as good as other videos. No way to export video from the game. Microphone picks up EVERYTHING so I tried to keep absolutely quiet.

Not my best lines or racing but enough to get first place. I notice, it seems, once you get the lead the A.I. seems to give up the will to push hard. Although, as you can see , they do stick around waiting for you to make a mistake but it seems like they'll settle for 2nd rather than risk catching you for first and making a mistake to make their own race worse."


One thing I notice with the game is that there seems to be varying difficulties of the same difficulty depending on what mode you're racing in. So very hard in say career may not be as hard as very hard in a one-off race as opposed to the championship mode. I forget where I did this race but I do remember having some pride about getting it done where it was more difficult. So I know it wasn't career because I just about smoke them in that mode. It was one of the more difficult modes in the game.

I really want to start tuning rides also. I never really tried. But there are some characteristics that I like about how my ideal car would drive and I guess I can start there as a point to try my hand at tuning.
 
As usual, it really comes down to braking LATER than the AI for turns and accelerating better than them, even when falling behind on the straights.
