Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - iRacing AI soft-launches today (12/3/2019)

Buried in the update notes today is the fact that iRacing is launching their long-awaited AI mode. It appears you can only drive the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (991) at about a half-dozen tracks, but after almost 2 years of no information, that is pretty exciting to me.

You can set the AI skill range (they recommend 25%-50%, and about a 30% spread to get a wide range of drivers in your race), and users can create races, championship seasons, or whatever they want with up to 60 customizable AI drivers (which can also be shared).

I don't know why stuff like this nerds me out--I can create an AI field of my friends (complete with custom car paints), and then run against AI versions of them in a full championship?

Also an ability to not count caution laps when using full course yellows...dirt racing has been missing this for years.

For anybody keeping an eye on iRacing and hoping for the AI coming soon, it seems like that time is finally arriving.
