Bot physics don't change (just think of the crazy coding/on-the-fly processing for that to work!). They don't get slower after you pass them, it's just that you aren't being slowed by them anymore. They also don't get hyper-aggressive after you have just passed them; they just brake too deep into every corner. As for the PR of a bot, it seems there is a range based on the PR of the event. Low PR events will never, ever have FU bots, even Dr. P.  High PR events will. This is most obvious running the LM races with the F40. Run the showcase 2-lapper with a FU car, and you will have passed the field of top bots before Dunlop (w/o cutting). Then run the 4-lapper and the entire field accerlates in unison because everyone is FU.

I will agree fast bots are biased towards more power, or at least that aspect of them is more obvious, since they still suck in the corners. I don't think it is any special physics going on, though, nor do I think they go beyond FU.

Hi Mugwumps,

I agree with most of what you say, but the bots are definitely temporarily faster once you pass them, for about one or two corners. My observation is also that they drive faster all the time they have a good lead on you, then get slower to deliberately block you as you get close. Their driving behaviour and speed is only consistent when you are not near them!
