I do however see the bots being more aggressive in the sense that they actually try to race, instead of just staying on their exact line and never overtaking outside of it.

An example is a bot braking very very late before a corner, trying to "out-corner" you by keeping more speed. If you happen to be in the preferred line, the bot doesn't crash into you, but tries to overtake outside of the preferred line. This often results in the bot sliding and not succeeding. But at least they try now! lol

Maybe I am getting faster and sensing their presence to avoid getting pitted, however like above, what I have noticed a lot of is off-line racing. Bots deliberately going off track to get around you or another car, of course not getting the speed penalty we do when we end up running in the weeds...

Though there are certain bots that are going out of their way to spin you. FishMang, Turnipage, MerryGold, and Jim Bling always have, but there are definitely more now that you have to give a wider berth to... than before.

I actually think that there are fewer early lap crashes than their used to be. I do think that they have slowed all but Auralpod down a bit... I used to have problems with HoodooVoodoo and harder, even Eraser used to be a tough challenge. Now, with a serviced car at the recommended PR, I can pretty much beat everyone through darknezz, with RattleSnack being manageable. I also don't find that you draw RattleSnack or Auralpod all that often, even driving as hard as you can, and I cannot say the last time I remember seeing Dr. Perriwinkle... So I think that they have made the Easy and Intermediate bots a little more challenging and the hard bots easier. If the hard bots get into traffic they start driving like Norm. It takes them forever to overtake.
