The F1 debacle

and especially if you don't attempt to turn and also don't intend to leave the car on the outside the prerequisite space to stay on track

Even the coders on the F1 2021 Codemasters Sim have more of a clue than Masi when it comes to rules. I tried the lunge adopted by MV and a) the AI car more often than not does not yield and a collision occurs of varying severity. Each time I get a warning from the stewards of causing a collision. Do that too many times and a penalty follows and ultimately disqualification.

Unfortunately, it is a pity they are a bit clueless when it comes to programming the track limits. Some corners you can repeatedly go miles wide with no penalty on others straddling the line incurs a warning and time penalty (incorrectly since all wheels must be off the track) to exceed track limits.

I prefer to race against AI as time trial listings show I am uncompetitive against human competition given how there are thousands of wannabes who seem capable of beating real world lap records by several seconds. The same thing happens when doing a 'casual 'five lap race on-line. I did my first yesterday (finished 9th out of 11) and the the winner was 17 seconds (over 3 seconds per lap) faster than Lewis Hamilton's actual track record!!!
I don't use any of the AIDS but even if I did I would be nowhere near the times these clowns seem capable of posting. I dont know how they did it because they disappeared off into the distance as soon as the race started. I was over half a lap behind after the 5 laps finished even though I was only about 4-6 seconds a lap off real life front lead race pace which is not too shabby given I have only had the new wheel pedal setup for a couple of months and still tweaking.
