*IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ*

Historic racing is famous for the gentleman racer era and that is the kind of atmosphere that I'd like to foster in the club. Please take time to read these web pages and try to get an understanding of what racing in this club is/should be all about.

Thanks

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but after almost 30 laps I was still 2.2 sec behind the best ai and 0,2 sec slower then the slowest ai. The slowest ai was driving the 1,8l 16V version, maybe the others aswell, but don't think so. I tryed to follow them but had no chance to keep my distance. Maybe I should start playing with barby instead of simracing

AI depends on so much different things, so you could be 5 sec faster than the AI on one track, and then 2 sec slower on the next, while in relation to other humans you would be on the same pace, relatively speaking

@Stan i,ve got down to been 1.6 secs off and thats flat out lol,and they pass at rediculous lines,Hmmm..

never had it like that before, at normaly if you are 2 sec faster then them you are around in the middle of the times with our club, almost. which means the fastest in hour club 4-5 sec ahead of the fastest ai almost.

But if I understand what Allan writes correctly he is also slower then them so maybe the ai is brutal strong on that car and everything is fine.
was thinking about an faulty potentiometer on my gaspedal, sadly I can't proove that in RF2

AI speed depends on track and mod, seems like the AI in this mod is very fast?

If you look at the replay there should be an input overlay, so you can see if pedals are sticking, or not applying 100%
