Thanks for the Patch notes Kenny, Saved me a search.
AI Improvements !!! That's impressive as the AI is already really good, I've had some awesome Single player races recently with the Adaptive AI.

That's impressive as the AI is already really good

The best in any game imo.
AAI works for me too Phil, my only worry when I read about AI improvements is whether it'll mess it up.

I use to run the adaptive AI and it worked very well....than something went all wonky a few months ago. I was training the 2020 WTCR ai on Watkins....they started off 10 secs a lap slower, than became 5 secs a lap faster than the WR time trial which was roughly 6-7 secs faster than me?

Now every track the ai is posting unrealistic times and I've had to revert to set AI difficulty...which varies on every track.

Any ideas on how to fix the adaptive AI.
I've tried deleting the AI settings in my game profile but they just go brutally slow than crazy fast.
The other thing I've noticed is that I am on par entering the corners than midway they get super grip and an additional 50hp and blast off down the straights.

Hopefully ai improvements in this build will address some of those issues.
