Yea those AI cars suck! I practiced running with them learning to pass them clean but they act totally different during a race, I have been intentionally hacked a lot!

 

[robmob]

It happened to me going down the straight heading to the start/finish line. I was passing on the outside and the AI clearly turned into me and put me in the wall. Why would the AI turn to the outside going into the turn?

To put you into the wall, LOL!!!!!

 

[robmob]

Has anybody had an AI slam on the brakes in front of you?

Happened twice yesterday. First time I could not react and plowed into him. The second time I saw it coming and ducked down inside. It seems they hack each other as well which is what causes it.

I've seen alot of AI's hacking each other over the past few races I've done and it almost always messing me up too.

Well I just put down my first run, not too bad, wish I hadn't been hacked those couple times, I could have squeezed in at least two or three more laps. And damn if Robnob didn't beat my fastest lap by 1/100 of a second.

And damn if Robnob didn't beat my fastest lap by 1/100 of a second.

I'll take care of that for you

 

[NCNitro]

I hope you get hacked, I paid off the guy with the yellow car to take you out!

 

[Racer 1966]

I hope you can get your money back - no racing tonight for me. TX batts are dead :\

 

[NCNitro]

Suuuure...the batteries are dead, you're just scared! :

 

[slowngreen]

Wow, nice run Joe!

 

[NCNitro]

Thanks Lloyd. I was running pretty decent lap times, just wish I hadn't been hacked those couple times, I could have squeezed in a few more laps. I really need to work on my pit stops too.

 

[abadk9420]

Dang you Joe now sitting here trying to decide if i should run my last time and try to improve and take a chance of doing worse, or just leave it as is and hope to stay in 2nd place.

 

[slowngreen]

I totally bombed my second run, worse that my first. Those damn pits are gonna be the death of me!

 

[NCNitro]

I feel your pain on the pits Lloyd. That always costs me a couple laps minimum every race. I need to spend some time just practicing pit stops.

 

[slowngreen]

I had them down great in practice but when I was doing the race it did its thing where it wont work so I had to come in on the next lap and try again lol.

 

[robmob]

I am hoping my pit issues are behind me. I ran an 18 minute practice run yesterday and my longest pit was 15.5 seconds with my shortest being 13.2. I did not do a tire change.

 

[NCNitro]

Lloyd, wait till you hit the fuel button and the car either sits in the air twitching, or disappears altogether, you wanna talk about frustrating! Especially if it is on your last run, or you had a great run going.

I am hoping my pit issues are behind me. I ran an 18 minute practice run yesterday and my longest pit was 15.5 seconds with my fastest being 13.2. I did not do a tire change.

Damn! Those are some fast pit stops! I change tires once during the 18 minute race, or else by the end of the race my lap times are falling off and the car becomes very hard to handle and run in my prefered line.

 

[robmob]

I have noticed that the time it takes from the moment the car rises until it sets down will vary. On my fastest pit it seemed like by the time my hand got back to my controller the car was being set down and I only had 2.2 left in the tank. On my next pit I had 4.5 left in the tank and it clearly took longer before the car was set down. Not very consistent at all.

 

[robmob]

Just finished my 2nd run.

I got hacked 3 times. Two of them were really bad so I was forced to not waste the 15 seconds and change tires. Car became a handful the last minute of the race and I really lost it when I hit 140.

Mark is at 142 laps 18:08.131.

I have 145 laps in me, but I will not run again unless I get bumped to 3rd.
