    Does Raceroom provide a feature where the AI will take over upon request? This would be particular useful for large endurance events. If this is not a feature, do we know if it intends to be and how it would work?

    Furthermore, are there any issues with AI endurance racing that I need to be aware of?

    Never know how serious to take your comments :D
    But if its supposed to answer the question then i think pales is talking about the ai taking over and not about it overtaking.
    Otherwise just ignore this :D

    in the sense of resetting the field ? as we dont have full course cautions , saftey cars i is lost ; and my first answer was serious , if there is a hole big enough for them to go through they will take it along ith the guy behind them but probably on the other side

    The OP means take over as in a driver swap with AI. So you can have a break while the AI does a stint. It's not possible in RR

    Yes the same as the grand Prix series had decades ago, for endurance racing is a must!

    prefer pause and save progress personally like in gtrĀ²

    letting the ai drive for you is a cop out for me

    It would be nice if like Grand Prix you could drive multiple teams, ai takes over while your in the other car t
    Depends how it is implemented, i mean, its not like the real GT3 cars dont run long sessions with driver swaps, it is a simulation after all ;) The GP series did it well especially with the ability to drive multiple teams in a race over the course of a season.

    It's not a bad idea for those who want to run those types of races. Totally useless at the moment though as AI can't even get their pit strategy anywhere near correct, until they start using fuel and tyres properly the endurance racing against AI is a waste of time.

    Hope so, when they can't go as far on a tank of fuel as the player it makes running races ridiculous, end up with huge time gaps over the AI
