Sorry if this has been covered (I did a search and found nothing). Can you train the AI for ovals? It seems that they can't make it around even if trained.

No you can't. It's a bug in the AI coding that doesn't take the banking of corners into account when calculating the speed to drive through the corner. Imagine the oval being totally flat, that's how it looks for the AI.

Bummer.

just my words... bummer!!

well actually i think you can - i have them running 0:38x times in the FZR and XRR and 0:40:8x in the FXR which isn't fast enough for any records but much better than 'not even making it around the track'

if i let them run another 50 or 100 laps, they could get quite competitive

i got 'em running round at around the same, they are still improving but it takes a lot of laps to gain even a tiny bit after a while, keep at it and they'll get there in the end, the bug only really effects the first lap, as all the others then become improved upon with 'experience'
