Yes.
I have AI Difficulty: Very Hard and Aggression: High.
Finally bought the N2 AE86. Tried Road America. The AI take off and disappear. Loving how the AI make mistakes and through hard racing, sometimes take each other out. I see all the dust from off track excursions.
Anyway, one AI goes off at the final turn, end of Lap 5. It looks to take forever to rejoin(looking from my rear view mirror), as I'm on the start/finish straight. It catches and passes me on Lap 8/10. Leaving me all alone for the rest of the race.
