    Was driving a multiclass race AI. The 2005 GT's
    Faster class GT1 cars keep being stuck behind slower GT2 cars.
    Not for one corner, but sometimes half the track or more.
    They still have no clue how to pass.
    Or they drive you off the track.
    It was already like this with other classes.
    Seems to get worse at some tracks even.

    AI in GTR2 seemed miles ahead, but that's over 20 years ago.

    AI multiclass singleplayer is total failure, they only place where it could shine against the other simracing titles.

    I kept hoping for improvement, I kept investing in this project.
    But it's not going anywhere.

    Maybe hire some proper programmers instead of content creators.

    I would pay € 20,- for just an AI update more than any of your DLC's

    The AI is breaking all the fun, they drive erratic, have no awareness what so ever.
    Faster cars keep being stuck 2 wide behind much slower cars.
    It's embarrassing a sim in 2026 actually has worse AI than titles decades ago.
    It's the age of AI and we are still stuck with dumb and dumber slotcar AI.
    That has even has difficulty switching from the fast lane to a pass lane.
    The slower AI is actually blocking the faster AI, instead of letting them pass.

    I won't buy any of their upcoming DLC's anymore until this issue is fixed.
    It's a dealbreaker!

    I don't see any (detailed) reports by you in the AI issues thread, just a generic "it's broken" isn't very helpfull at all, best thing would be to create an extensive report including all your settings, any custom AI files you use and one or more videos showing the AI behaviour as well as yourself would help very much in fixing issues.

    Just by saying something is broken really doesn't say anything, for all we know it's the way you're driving around the AI that causes them to behave the way you are experiencing, without any proper footage it makes it very hard to tell.

    Maybe post some videos of the issues instead of acting like a child, until then you'll be ignored with that attitude.

    I think it's currently by far the best AI, despite the trade-offs. Good luck with the other simulators.:D

    It would be helpful if you could provide some footage of your issue(s) or if you could at least share your settings.
    I do a lot of offline racing against AI and I have a lot of fun because the AI in AMS 2 act more "human" than in other games. I always use 109-117 strength (depending on class and track), medium or hard aggression (depending on class), 3x mistakes (to see AI making mistakes even in shorter races). Multiclass works fine - sometimes there AI are not as quick as I am when overtaking slower classes but it's okay. Only in LMU AI overtake slower classes more smoothly IMO.

    'Maybe hire some proper programmers instead of content creators.'

    That went over the line, and this behaviour is not welcome.. Perhaps pay some more respect to my colleagues. Please fill in a proper AI report, including a summary screen, screenshots, videos, etc. Have a good day. Bye.
