Hi all -

That's just it. I slow the bots for every LTS or SE that comes from FM/EA. This LTS is no different. I win speed snaps by less than 1 mph. I try to cross the finish no more than 150yd ahead of 2nd place. I have even waited at the finish line of an autocross to slow the bots.

This Daytona race (14.1) was insanely difficult. The lead bots were pacing the field at 215 mph, it took a slingshot maneuver to pass them at 220-221 mph to win this race. No amount of 'losing drag races' or coming in 32nd place would alter this insane pace. Believe me, I tried.

The biggest issue was that the bots were SO AGGRESSIVE. In order to pass this stage, you had to be perfect or almost perfect - during a 200 mph demolition derby. In the race where I finally DID win it, I got lucky and there was a crash (the bots were so aggressive they were taking each other out) on the back straight that allowed me to get up to 13th by the end of the first lap. I wasn't in the lead until lap SEVEN. Six more laps to move up 12 spots and NEVER a lap car caught up - that's where my bots were at for this race.

For an LTS that I had run bot-slowing the entire time, I found this AI level completely inappropriate.

FWIW - I have been racing for over 4 years, am level 226 with 223 cars. I've been following this forum for nearly as long, I only signed up to continue being part of the discussions.
