Quick question; does anybody know if using the reverse grid option in the second race have a negative effect on the adaptive ai data? My fear is that you will obviously do slower laps if you start at the back of the grid so will that mean next time the ai will run slower? Thanks for you help.
Mainly it depends on how long the races are, but it shouldn't matter too much. The AAI works by comparing your lap-times to the average lap.times of the grid. Meaning that if it is set to the right level, you'll end up somewhere mid-pack anyway, thus still having to deal with traffic. So traffic, in and of itself, isn't that big of a problem. Finally, the AI only keeps the last ten laps you did, so if you're races are longer than say 12-15 laps, you should be clear of the backmarkers by the time your laps are getting saved. I've never actually tried it so I can't say for sure, but I shouldn't think it would be a problem.
