    I know this happens once in a while. Most single player races I have at least one car going around slow in 1st gear. Is there a folder I can delete that the game will renew on start up? I've seem it posted before but can't find it . thanks all

    You can delete the aiadaptation.xml file in C:\Users\abc\Documents\My Games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\UserData\Player1

    BUT that issue is most probably not caused by a corrupted file but rather by that car having damaged its gearbox. Its stuck in 1st gear and can't shift up. If you see a car like that, hit "R" to open the instant replay, switch camera to that car and rewind. You'll probably see that it hit a wall somewhere.
    This issue is being investigated.

    Yeah I have had that happen many times and my guess is also the AI busted something in the car :p

    Edit: Especially in Spa-Francorchamps where AI hit the tirewall bit down the straight after first corner.

    Bathhurst is the worse i have had about 5 of them doing this in one race it is really annoying especially if you catch up with one on a blind corner.It needs looking at as it makes a lot of tracks unplayable in single player they can ruin a race especially when the ai are set to really high.Turn off mechanical damge is all i can suggest until they fix it
