Is it possible for one AI driver to hold a grudge?
I thoroughly enjoyed both races, was concerned after last nights practice, but GT got the combo spot on again
Race One, I was still learning the track
. Once I got the hang of it, I started making up places & had a thoroughly entertaining race, particularly with the AI. I am concerned though, while I was coming back through the field, Duncan Walker
was going way slower than I thought round the flat out oval part & I accidentally "nudged him"
. The so & so, got me straight back with a "friendly nudge" of his own going through the T1 chicane
...
Race Two, I started 2nd on the grid & my "mate AI" Duncan Walker behind me. I made a good start & was lined up nicely to get through the T1 chicane behind the guy in p1... SMACK!!! My "Mate" Duncan launched me round & drove off, leaving be stranded, hold everyone up (only compensation was Ginsters being stuck their too
). So 2nd to 9th I think it was, but I drove lovely & was running 5th having caught & past "good old" Duncan, despite his love taps & intimidation tactics (charging at me & late braking)
. Managed to work a little bit of a gap & set my mind on tracking down Picnic. I got a bit of a wobble on & had to lose some speed to get full control back... sorted & going again & guess what happens? My "Mate" AI Duncan hoofs into me (something must have been wrong with the whole other side of the track
) & I'm sent spinning into a wall
.
I had no problem with any other AI driver & must have raced every one of them at some point. If they do seek revenge (I'm far from convinced now that they don't), I'm dead impressed. A fantastic addition they were tonight for me & my enjoyment.

p.s. oh yeah, congrats to all the human drivers
p.p.s. Felt like good simulated rain too, but I fear that may have impacted tonight's attendance. Some people adore having wet races, but a lot of people seem to dread them (in GTR2 world anyway)
