The new AI is odd. Ignoring all the aggressive/mad bot complaints. The bot line seems to have gone from conservative to extraordinarily conservative... e.x. hanging in the middle of the track when they shouldn't be. Watch an Endurance where the bots start on the side of the track and 5 seconds after the start simultaneously shift to the middle. The line is extremely square around some corners. In some ways they seem more cooperative. They're more likely to run cooperatively side-by-side. And I've seen the bot tuck neatly in behind me when I've completed the pass, not clipping me when I'm where it thinks I should be. Also that bizarre always using the blocking line under breaking is gone, but the square line almost fulfills the same blocking purpose.
