Why are the penalties at Austin sooooo looong. They are a joke sometimes over 10 seconds.

Who gets fake races? So you win may be 4 or 5 in a row. Then you get put against someone with the name Player. (Dead give away 1). Player will start better than you regardless of your start. (Dead give away 2) Then an AI will pass you like you are stood still and block you. (Dead give away 3.) If you are able to pass them, you will never catch player regardless of your PI. Finish the race Players pi is lower than yours. (Dead give away 4) Points to note here are. My pi is 2128. I never normally get passed by AI in normal races unless I come off. The race is clearly not against a real player it’s a bot player put in to halt your progress. This has been happening for months and months. Does it happen to you? Do you want it to stop?

What!!!!!!!

AI opponents are more often than not especially when you get a 4 or 5 wins in a row. Veerlappen seems to think there are none. What a joke they are everywhere. I get barged of left right and Center by them. This game is rigged so much. I have days where all I do is win and day we’re I can’t buy a win. My best time in Hungary is 1:11:17. The other day an AI beat me with a time of 1:08:13 and a pi of 1459. My pi is 2113. Rigged rigged rigged

So sick of getting beaten by algorithms. Time penalties for corners that aren’t cut. Your opponent going passed you like your stood still when your doing 209 mph. Bots that slow down so much you can’t avoid them. Opponents you can’t catch on a long straight say Hanoi, then you look at the pi after the race the balance is the same but you have over 1000 pi higher. Been thrown in the air in Spain. Inconsistent pentalties some over 10 seconds. Races with the same opponent 3 times in a row where you win all of them and their cup score goes up. Codemasters you are a bunch of money grabbing cheats. MAKE IT FAIR. At least half of my races are like this. I’ve had my score up to 8500 months ago on a much lower pi. On the last reset went down to 3500 got up to 5050 then loss after loss after loss due to algorithms. Now at 4600 can’t not get past 4700 because of all of the above. I haven’t beaten a PB in at least 6 months because of updates that have slowed cars or changes in physics. When my last PB at Spa with a pi of around 1600 was set it was 1:40:227 with a top speed of 216. Now I can’t get within a second of that and my top speed is 209 my Pi is 2184 with a balanced set up. Please tell me your thoughts forum people.

Barry thanks for your Christmas message. I hope you and your team have a great break. It would be wonderful if you could answer some of the comments that are put on the forum. For example explain the one above. How and why did it happen.

I have just finished 3 races all against the same rival. That’s 3 in a row with NO time in between each race First race his trophy score was 4444. I won and was awarded 35 🏆. Next race his trophies was 4469. I won again awarded 35 🏆. Next race his 🏆s was 4489. I won again. How is his 🏆 going up when he has lost three in a row. Because Codemasters put hundreds of bots in to mess us up. Sick to death of it. If you are going to put bots in at least make it look good. You fools

It’s the fake rivals that screw you up. I can’t really tell what’s going on with the AI cars it’s too random for me. Codmasters have admitted to using fake rivals. These are races you can’t win. They are there to peg back your progress and encourage you to spend. Remember this is a business to them a business that wants to keeps you hooked and spending in a way that keeps you in the dark. As you approach the boundaries of different levels you will get more and more fake rivals to keep you playing and to reach your next goal. You have no way of telling how real or fake races you actually have. Take a look at these three screen shoots all races I lost. Look at the difference in PI. I made no mistakes and they were all qualy races. The pace of these rivals were so quick even with my PI higher the rival out paced me on straights and corners. It’s annoying but just part of the game. You will always progress but only at the pace Codemasters will allow.

Ok so a few months ago before the latest up date when I had less trophy points and lower PI. I did a single qualy race to find my best set up. I did it at Austria and my PB is now listed at 1:03:326. So do the same now with the new update and more trophies and higher PI set up the same way. My best is 1:05:459. Same on all circuits. I can’t get near any of my PB’s. Ok I get it if the update changed things so the lap times are no longer achievable but please reset my PB’s or give me the choice to do it. Part of the fun is bettering yourself. My current trophy points is 5098 and pi 2070 on that set up

So many times I have a race and think how did I lose that. The car I was racing must have much higher pi or a different set up. I always look at my rivals PI after a race. Only to discover that the set up shape is the same but my PI is over 300 higher. So how oh how can the car out drag me on straights. It makes no sense. Trust me here this is not racing lines or speed carried out of corners it happens so much and I’ve played so many races. It happens too often for it to be my mistakes. My PI is 2070 set up with a bias to power and weight. Can someone giver a reason. My guess that are AI rivals.

Have you ever noticed your rival that flashes once just after the waiting for the opponent screen. This is an AI car. One of two things happen. You win the race dead easy by 3 or 4 secs providing you don’t mess up. Or you loose by the same amount even if you drive a clean lap. I’ve been passed on the last straight on several circuits with over a second lead by a car going like a rocket. So sick of the AI cars that peg you back.
