All I know is I was brake checked by ai twice in a ranked lobby and then they tried to run me off the track. So either ai programming is this pathetic or the car was saying it was ai when it wasn't.

@FionnlaghM For the most part you can't have AI in ranked lobby, there are a few exceptions if someone gets disconnected it will give them a brief period to re-connect while the AI controls the car. Also, if someone attempts to pause the game the AI will take over the car briefly.
Whenever the AI takes over control of the car its first goal is usually to get the car back on the racing line as quickly as possible which could be the perceived as "running you off the track". Then to prevent players taking advantage of having the AI drive the car the AI usually drives the car at a pace slower than top speed which could be what you consider to be the "Brake Checking".
I'll be the first person to tell you this game has plenty of issues, but having put plenty of hours into career mode the behavior and competitiveness of the AI is not one of them.

Ai hasn’t increased difficulty. It’s more that the Ai has less control of car during periods of races, instead the game takes control and Ai cars will be on rails and will lap set lap times the game sets, so Ai car damage is turned. Also things that affect human player don’t effect Ai cars such as marbles, tyre wear etc.
For the game to do this indicates a serious issue with physics or the Ai that couldn’t be properly post launch. Ai is at its best when game launches: Doesn’t mean it’s good just it’s the best it can be the game. Each Patch that affects game physics will also knocks the Ai balance a little, with so many patches in this game it could have serious May unbalanced the Ai.
Only way to fix Ai is to retrain it. Which isn’t realistic to be able to do with current games Ai as retraining takes at minimum months.

@ScarDuck14 Normally I think very highly of your posts... but were you drunk when you wrote the middle paragraph lol, there's some incoherent sentences there. I kind of get a what you were trying to say but there's some pretty hideous grammar going on there like "Doesn’t mean it’s good just it’s the best it can be the game." Makes me think of some WWII American military recruitment poster with Uncle Sam on it.
