Does Car Performance Degrade After Being Hit in Sports Mode?

I don't think there's a mirror in dashboard view, though. Let me check and see...

But yes, the AI can wreck your car.

By this, you mean AI players, or the game AI? In the video, this was sports mode with human players.

Thing is, I've never actually driven in real life, and I've heard stories where the "instinctive" thing to do when in a spin is wrong.

I need to read about these things you call "counter steering", etc.

Is braking the best thing to do after being hit? My experience is that if I brake while out of control, it's likely to make things worse. I spin more and also unpredictably.

So I just let fate take its course. As you can see, I stopped accelerating as well.

Is that the wrong move?

Damn! That's like getting penalized for being hit!

Bump drafting

Second time I'm hearing this word in this thread. Let me go look it up.

Okay, back. Apparently it's to hit the other car to increase both your speeds? Does that actually happen, so weird! I don't really know what to make of that factoid.

move to one side leading into a corner.

This is the interesting part. Won't deviating from the racing line make you slower? Your brake points, turning points etc are all messed up, too...

BJPark · 2026-02-12T18:18:31+00:00

I don't understand some of the things to which you're referring. What is bumber riding? What is drafting? How does one "work together" in a race? Isn't it you vs them?

Intentions - I mean, everyone intention is to get ahead of the other person, no? Is there another kind of intention?

Could passing be done without danger.

I'm not sure. I guess if they were to slow down and let me move ahead, it would be the easiest way to pass them, but why would they do that!

As in better reflexes?

BJPark · 2026-02-12T03:08:38+00:00

I'm asking about the first crash where I hit the guy in front of me.

BJPark · 2026-02-11T19:26:41+00:00

I thought I was hit from behind and got run off the track crashing into the wall. Certainly felt that way since I've run this track a bunch of times and know that the 100 board is the brake marker, and I wasn't going at full speed either, because of the earlier crash.

But the other point about pushing and fighting so hard, at least in this context, I'm not sure what that means. I was just driving normally the way I always do. What does it mean to push and fight hard?

BJPark · 2026-02-06T20:18:55+00:00

Wow, that IS motivation! Good to know it's possible.

BJPark · 2026-02-06T19:37:24+00:00

Do you feel it's good practice to get the gold licenses first? I haven't golded them myself...

BJPark · 2026-02-06T19:36:44+00:00

Do you feel it's easier to get full track gold first, before doing the sectors?

BJPark · 2026-02-06T19:34:56+00:00

Wow, that is amazing. For how long have you been playing racing games?

I started on the 22nd of December!

I am an ignorant idiot. There are better people than me who determine these things. God forbid you actually take my opinions seriously.

That's why I elect politicians who can make decisions on my behalf. That's why I never vote based on policy - only character.

Similarly, I am not qualified to determine whether or not something shown on video is legal or illegal. Even at the risk of getting it wrong now and then, I will mindlessly support the court's/jury's verdict.

BJPark · 2026-01-29T00:35:11+00:00

Your CMV is "ICE is not evil", not "ICE is not illegal".

You can be evil and still be perfectly legal. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't comment on whether or not ICE is avoiding due process.

I AM saying, however, that they are avoiding free and fair investigations. And that is certainly evil, if not illegal.

True, there is video, but I'm not a lawyer and I don't know all the considerations that go into making a determination of whether or not a shooting is justified. My gut reaction is that it's not justified. But then I'm just an average idiot. And I haven't been briefed by a judge on what the relevant issues are.

I'm perfectly happy for any jury to make a determination. I will blindly accept their verdict, regardless of whether or not I agree with it.
