Faster and safer AI for Spa Francorchamps 1966, by Reboot Project. You can find it in the THRacing website.

  • Cars don't crash out at the exit of La Source anymore.
  • New boundaries so faster cars wont try to overtake on risky spots anymore.
  • New Fast AI line and hints so it laps more than 10 seconds faster on average with most cars.

Some laptimes
GPL 1967 cars: 3:34-3:39 race pace bracket.
Ford GT40: 3:49.3.
Kunos Lotus 49: 3:30.9. That's P2 on the 1967 Grand Prix starting grid, second only to Jim Clark.

Important notes:
  • Some specific vintage cars are overall very tricky for the AI to handle (like the GPL Matra and the DRM Porsches) and on this particular, fast and bumpy track they can't complete many laps without incidents at 100% level. No amount of hints can fix these particular cars while keeping the rest at a competitive pace. Some other modded cars are way too aggressive for some reason and can get into some sketchy overtaking situations (like the DRM mod). You should consider tuning down the AI aggresiveness overall for this track.
  • The starting grid is three wide just meters before Eau Rouge, so it will probably be sketchy the first corners until the cars build a gap. La Source at the end of the lap is also a choking point, there may be some contact on the opening laps there with bigger cars.
  • Being this fast, top speed matters a lot. Many AI cars may need a "default_ai" setup with longer gearing so they dont hit the limiter.

Good job. In a 5 lap race of GPL it took me 3 laps to pass just one (and until the end I was suffering because I had him stuck behind me). Thank you!
Tried it with AC Legends cars and they run a good race, thanks!
Very Very Good.
My word sir, this improvement is INCREDIBLE - thank you so much for this, makes vintage sportscar racing an absolute joy! Would be in awe if you could do similar for other 60s circuits (eg Le Mans 67) but regardless, this is going to massively increase the time I spend on this track. Please add a donation button!

Thank you for the review! These "vintage" AI lines really do work best with GT-type cars. I have a semi-working LM line already, but some cars (GT40 and every mod based on its physics) just cant brake for Mulsanne when driving behind another car, for some reason they are coded to absolute send it on hard braking points. Will try to fix it with hints and boundaries, the same was happening at La Source with these cars at first. And no donations needed, I just share these as I make them for myself too!
