    Hello Mates,

    Usually I dont do AI-racing, but today I was in the mood, so I decided to race the FR3 at Spielberg National with 23 AI. This was the session setup:

    A race over 30 minutes with a mandatory pitstop, so nothing really complicated. But it got complicated, because the entire AI decided to retire the race!



    I've watched the replay afterwards from the perspective of one of the AI, and obviously they all get a Drive Through Penalty for cutting the track, the time they enter the pits for their mandatory stop. All of them take this DTP, just to get another one while entering the pits, and so they all decide to retire.

    I'd say, this isnt how it should be. :)

    Andy's already submitted a report so I'm just chiming in to say well done on having thematically appropriate, non intrusive and actually good looking into to your video. Wish more people took that approach.

    Being offensive wouldnt solve a bug faster. :)
    I've done your job in the past at another game, so I know its impossible to find every bug before a release.

    Another pit entry which might be worth a second look is Mantorp Park. Just watched a video in which entering the pits a lill bit aggressive lead to a DTP, reason was cutting at the first right corner. And this guy barely touched the gras.

    Will check this one out if it isnt already reported.

    Getting a drive through for touching the grass there would be quite excessive as you say :p

    Thanks for the reports :)

    We enabled penalties for AI as an experiment. This is one of the issues that arose. For now I believe we are going to disable penalties for AI again. Maybe. I forgot all work related stuff over the weekend.
