*Sigh* I'm damn near tempted to give up on this game.

I don't get the issue, Pappy. You went wide, re-entered the track at a right angle and were T-boned. That's not an AI problem.

There's no shame in using assists. There's no shame in racing only in the dry while you learn the physics model of the game.

It's a game -- it's supposed to be fun!

The problem is that I suck. Getting around the track and posting a lap that's actually validated is an accomplishment for me. I just posted that clip because it was pretty funny to me when I flipped.

Allow me to offer some advice:
1) Check your input settings if you're playing with a controller. There are some good setups around the net. First thing to do is putting to 0 the deadzones.
2) Don't race in rain conditions.
3) I hope you're not playing the game with the cam behind the car...
4) Learn 2 or 3 race tracks by practicing 20+ laps in each one.
5) Do not race/push for the podium. You can just finish 8th or even last. It doesn't matter.
6) Wait for the AI to make the mistake. Stay behind and stress them. The AI in PCars might not be the best but it's very good for a racing game. They make mistakes too.
7) Enable the assists and set the AI to a value of 70.

Golden rule for corners: Slow in, fast out.

Good luck!

I use the cockpit cam when I race. I just changed the view in the video replay to get a nice view of the car.

When I was racing in the rain I had no choice because it was automatically chosen in my career.

I'll take your advice and keep plugging away at the game. I really like it a lot, despite my frustration right now.

Do you suggest that I use automatic gearing? I always use manual in these games, but I'm not sure if I'm getting much benefit at all.

Whenever I race with a controller I use the chase camera. When on my wheel i go cockpit... No shame here.

Manual shifting shifting takes getting used to but it allows you to better brake into a corner as you brake/downshift and you accelerate better coming out by using the optimal rpm.
