Can anybody tell me what is the purpose of the AI driving drunk in singleplayer practice and qualification?
I constantly see cars running before me and I assume the AI is also trying to qualify, as on the map they seem to maintain a decent speed. Then, as I get closer, they slow down dramatically and eventually I can catch them easily.But as I get closer they start weaving and actually cross my path. This seems to me a behavior that has been programmed in them, but I cannot fathom the reason why. No human qualifier (or even any human in a practice run) would drive like that. Either they are qualifying and they should go as fast as possible maintaining their line, or they are on their outlap, in which case they should get the hell out of my way.
Any explanations for that?
