He was insane agressive and came out of nowhere (was never on the lineup). Half the time, I could pit him as he passed, but he would always catch back up. If he ever got ahead, I would lose, so my pit had to be perfect.

Do you notice if your black monkey shows up just for certain series or event types? Ah, you had contact to my old time frind "The Real Rambo" too. I have not seen him for a number of years by now but in my early days of farming on the LM 10 lapper I had him on my back after some time. He was the "The Real Reason" why I started to manage my bots, just to get him of my grid. I remember him only from the LM 10 lapper but can't say if he appeared in other races too. Guess he was in the pack but could not get through the pack fast enough to bother me on the shorter races.

I found him on the grid in position between 17 to 20. Usually I managed to get a number of km ahead of the pack but after 3 to 5 laps he appeared as number 2 on screen. From this moment on he came up to my back within 3 laps max.

As you said he was very aggressive and tried to pit me while flying by. He came up to my back, what ever line I took he pushed me off the track and zoomed away like on warp speed. Result race done and no chance to win.

My avoidance strategy was the same as yours, pit him while he tries to pit me by performing a last second erratic maneuver to come free from his line and pit him if possible. Else, game over and race done.

What I noticed after I managed to pit him right he fell back into the grid and ended up around position 12 to 15. If the first hit was not hard enough I had to do it again as he recovers quickly. The second pit maneuver mostly got him off my back.

Only way to have my freedom while farming was to dumb down the bots so he went off the grid for me. Since then he never appeared again. :-)
