Gave up on Internet races ages ago because they're carnage, full of idiots (it is online after all...).Easy to buy cars and tracks and then find there's no series for you to use them online, which is poor.Also far too easy to collect incident points online - cut a curb an inch too far or go slightly wide and that's another one...cue a drop in iRating. That quickly started to feel like a total grind, and that's not what I'm after while gaming.I found it much better with AI racing (all on my own) where you can set huge or infinite incident-point rules. You can buy tracks and cars, and actually use them in anger.Having said that, the AI racing is still failing in some really basic ways:AI drivers don't seem to suffer tyre wear like you.AI doesn't seem to notice when it starts raining (except they get quicker!?!), until it's full wet then they're super-slow.Can't force AI drivers to change tyres or make a pitstop, unless you make the races long enough for them to need fuel...!Can't save part-way through an AI race or between sessions.Also annoying was things like altering the P217 spec so that none of my setups worked anymore, which took ages to develop. Why not a "Legacy P217" option so we can just get back onto the SIM after a bit of a break and get playing quickly...?Far too many short ovals that are no use for any sensible cars (try running a P217 or Indy at Oxford...!) and too many IndyCar street courses missing. Would love St. Pete, Toronto, Detroit, and they totally ignored the Nashville street race...Really looking forward to Adelaide (more V8 courses please!), but they're also hamstrung by FIA deals by the sound of it so we'll probably never get Singapore, Monaco or Baku.So I dunno...some days it feels like great fun. Pros: Honestly, the rendering of the circuits is absolutely amazing (Long Beach and Belle Isle are my two favourites) and the racing does feel quite real.Cons: The AI racing isn't bad but it's missing some obvious simple settings which is frustrating, and the online aspect was soul-destroying.
