Did the AI get fixed!?
I noticed, that since yesterday, after restarting a race more often, the AI difficulty gets downgraded to "experienced", which makes it easier to win, or at least come second as the first driver is usually quite strong.
But even on elite it just felt like the AI "stopped cheating" as I am now able to win supercar races PR900 in a rear wheel drive 488 pista, which wasnt the case before, at least after a few tries and learnign the ideal breaking and steering points... also came across some dude that was so clean in his driving he now smoked the elite AI...

thats just my experience in the "Ferrari vs. Labo" part of the game, anybody noticed the same?

No AI Fix was not included in the update.

No. You have to use meta cars if any particular race is giving you an issue. But all are doable. I just did the Pista vs Countach race in a Pista. My race had to be flawless and AI drove like maniacs in their Countachs. But I won on my 3rd try.

Which car category? Is the car you use already at the allowed max PR? Are you using meta cars? Are you playing with controller? Are you using driving aids?
trying to figure out, why some people are struggling so much...

so, maybe activate the driving aids to 100% and use the full racing line... Another tip might be to edit the driving modes, to maximise acceleration, braking and handling. Driving modes are quite important. The taycan should not have any problems with wining in this class. I did it with the BMW, the rain races were rather hard, but somerhow I managed...

AI will adjust to your winning/losing. It's annoying and poorly implemented, for sure. But here is how to make the most of it, until it they fix it:

Sandbag at least 3 races in a row ... this is annoying, but it helps you learn the track, and also 3 8th places in a row will make the AI decrease a level. The first 3 races pay out reasonably well, even if you come in 8th place.

Any race where you beat your Personal Best also seems to pay out really well, even if it's your 4th or 5th of the day ... so, now that you lost 3 races and learned the track better ... race against the easier AI with your good car, and then you should place on the podium.

you are right , lose race , restart and ai drops a level . finally finished the races . thanks for the help .
Nick Chronic Oct 2, 2024 @ 4:48am 
still no fun to race this way , i rather want a choice at wich level i want to race this ai at

No, seems like the devs don't want people to play their game. Cant even matchmake with people, having to race broken unfair ai.

These devs deserve this loss, their talent and vision does not correlate. Even for a AA dev this is embarrassing.

The G Class Races are laughably easy with Porsche Taycan. Just make sure you put all upgrades possible on it (including Lvl 1 to Lvl 5 and between) as game does better job at automatic conversion when it has more options to downgrade. Also select Car Setup to Sport/Circuit/Rain depending on Race conditions. Normal tires for Rainy conditions and Slicks/Semi Slicks for Sunny. Cloudy can be wet so adjust accordingly.
