So, I have mixed feelings about the AI right now. In every one of these videos, the driver takes off at the start and passes 3 or 4 cars right from the beginning. Why wouldn't the AI also put the hammer down? Then the field gets going and it's much harder to catch them ... good. Finally, I know it's Arcade mode, but there should be some sort of consequence to dive bombing cars in the corner, even in Arcade mode, imho.
If you're going to do an A-Spec race, here is how it should work. You should first have to do two laps to set a qualifying time. That should put you somewhere in the field from front to back based on your time. Then, make the AI race you. They have the advantage of knowing the fastest line and they don't make mistakes. Make it a race.
I really liked the fact that they have a new arrow indicator that tells you when there is a car at three o'clock or nine o'clock. Very simple and clear. Well done.
