I reran 22.1, and this time had darknezz, MiceOrMan, and StayFrosty, and I was still able to beat darknezz by 8 seconds. Basically, in a race of that length, when the reach traffic, they end up running like Norm. They get stuck behind them on the line.

But it is seriously a lot of fun to have to race the bots and be pressured from behind. Any skid and they are all over your tail pipe, even if you had 50 to 100m on them.

I think that is the double edged sword of bot management; while it makes it easier to win the car, event, or series, it is more like work than like fun, and you end up getting sloppy about keeping your laps tidy, your car undamaged, and your line as true as possible to the racing line. And then when you need that speed, you don't have the practice turning those kind of laps. It is always good to have rivals that push you to be better, not mediocre.
