@ScarDuck14 Well i saw exactly that happening in exactly that video you were talking about, the AI were stuck behind Norris lap 1 (i think) and only 2 cars got past him till he pitted. From the Esses down to the pits in COTA where they lost like 6-7s over the lap.
This is not how it would go IRL and they seem more aggressive this year, which is good (except for them still jumping out of the way when you get near them hahaha) but they should be even more aggressive or trained to go around the outside of damaged cars.
