    Thought I'd start a thread about those little things that you notice in the game that break the immersion - i.e. remind you that you are in a game rather than fighting for a real world championship.

    My offering is synchronised starts from the AI.

    Ready... set... everybody turn left !! (except me in the green Cupra - I didn't get the memo).

    Despite it being clearly some kind of bug, this could be an awesome shot for RR video contest! :rolleyes:

    I'm not sure if I still have the replay, but a while ago I was racing WTCRs at Watkins glen. One of the Alfa-Romeo cars was a real thorn in my side for the entire race. At the 7 laps to go mark, the Ai pushes too hard on the exit to the bus-stop and torpedoed into the side wall. It was a nasty enough crash that the car should have ended it's race.
    Later in the race, this white cockeyed looking car is frantically making it's way through the pack. Sure enough it was the same Alfa. This time it was making quick work of all the cars behind me, as it got back behind me and eventually made a pass on me. Up until then, the race was going smoothly, and the Ai was pretty decent, until the Alfa broke out the rubber bands. LOL

    While racing at Hockenheim in a Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland 2019, after a gruelling race with many lead changes I was just braking for the Sachs curve and my cat jumped into my lap.
    (I also agree about the synchronised A.I.)

    HUDs, Driver names, chat. Turn them all off and just have crew chief running.
