Crash physics
Not sure what's going on with this but I'm yet to crash with the AI and they have spun off. Every time I spin and they carry on like nothing has happened. Virtually any sort of connection sends me. ...

@martyforster Funny since the patch I’ve found the ai much better behaved towards me. And had a good tussle for a dozen laps being the meat in a max and Lewis sandwich until max blew his car up.
But do know what you mean with Miami straight. I managed to do last to first a few my team careers ago but on last lap Lewis caught me. As it was my first ever last to first race I decided to put Hamilton into the wall but he would not be moved. Ended up locked together all the way down the straight. He crossed the line first but got a 3 second penalty for illegally blocking me at the end off the straight giving me the win.
Any how I’m thinking it’s by design. On certain sections off track the ai can’t be moved off line. Especially down the Miami straight with the walls so close. Mainly To ensure the front ai runners don’t crash into each other in the first few laps and then having the entire grid pile into the back off them. Ai are great at avoiding each other in the corners but on the straights despite plenty off time and space they don’t slow down or move off there line to avoid a wrecked car:

- @ScarDuck14 Is that since the F2 patch as I haven't downloaded it yet?
I noticed there had been a glitch somehow in my car set up for that one. Loaded my usual Miami car up with 18-24 wings but realised in Parc Ferme it had loaded wings as 40-50 (all other setup correct so not sure how it happened) so I was crazy slow down the straight so instead of overtaking AI just went full belt into me on the line as if I wasn't there.
It is usually mostly on straights but I also have problems on corners when in a train. The car in front is always very slow into turns (then flys off on the exit) which means I need to slow either earlier or harder not to hit them on corner entry but when I do that the car behind doesn't slow (like the car in front and I have) and hits me and it always makes that lock up before spinning me off.
Doing career with Williams at the minute on an average of 80-85 AI and finish each time around 14-16th but on time trial when I put times in to the lap time site it gives me an AI of 93-95. I'm new to using a wheel and pedals (only got for for this release) and my TT set up is a bit more twitchy so not confident to get through a race with it but not sure if the lower AI is affecting the train/cornering issues.- @martyforster Found when in a train. Braking a lot earlier than normal and coasting so keeping enough speed as you roll through the corner to close in on the car infront. So faster through the apex. Trick is nailing the throttle coming out off the corner in order to keep up with the ai
- @ScarDuck14 This is pretty much what i do but that initial breaking sends the car behind into me, normally as they try to dive bomb though from way behind.
My throttle on exit could be better. Think i probably feather a little too much if anything (I use traction control fully off) so my exit is a little slow though whilst I didn't think I trail brake I had a look at racenet today and I seem to be naturally doing it without realising (obviously this is taken from TT without AI but it's the way I drive normally.
There just feels like a difference in corner entry speed between the car in front and the car behind so I keep getting sandwiched at corner entry.
