    Hello there, really enjoying the DTM 2020 cars so far here, but I feel like the AI needs some tweaking.
    I take Hockenheim GP as an example since I only got time to race there so far.

    - Nordkurve: on the 1st lap, some cars take too much inside kerb, spin and take out other cars in the process.
    - the hairpin: clumsy and slow on the entry, they often collide trying to overtake eachother
    - exit of Mercedes: too much grip on corner exit and in the following sweepers, they sometimes take too much inside kerb and spin
    - Mobil 1 Kurve: they brake too early and are overall slow through that corner
    - Sachskurve: they have too much grip on corner exit
    - Sudkurve: they are way too fast through both right-handers, even hitting the back of my car if they are close, then have way too much speed exiting the 2nd right-hander and on the start-finish straight

    Overall the AI seems to brake a bit too early, tend to be clumsy and slow mid-corner and then compensate by having too much grip on the exit of the corner. This creates a concertina effect which makes racing "un-natural" for the lack of a better term.

    AI set to 103 difficulty and 16 AI cars on the grid.

    Luckily Billy Strange has made a video on the same combo, which really shows the points I made on the previous post.

    How's AI with the 2016 though? In my brief test earlier, both 2016 & 2020 felt quite similar, except for the sensitive throttle w/ the latter (and obviously presence of P2P).

    I have the same issue as in the video. The AI just seems off at Hockenheim. Also checked with older DTM-Series. With DTM 2013 for Example, they brake incredibly late into the hairpin, and then literally crawl through the hairpin.

    not only at DTM and not only at Hockenheim. The AI can brake much later than I do (especially at classes with no ABS) but their corner entry speed at slow corners is much lower than mine.

    I need to get better at breaking without abs... But AI's tight corner entry speed ist really low.

    It is a pity that the problem has not yet been solved. I like this track, but AI in the last 3 corners is too fast.
