Though I quite enjoy this title, there is one little thing that annoys me
more than anything else! The AI cars have a nasty habit of lingering by the
inside tail light and as soon as you move to the inside (in the mirror they
look like they are behind you!) they spin you into the infield. This seems
to happen consistantly and the AI never attempt to back off or swerve out of
the way. It is really frustrating and more often than not ruins what until
then is an enjoyable race.

I also pointed out this blatant unfairness... there's just no way to keep
the door shut. Actuallty, it works both ways to the detriment of the player.
You spotter yells out as soon as an AI gets the tinyest whisker alongside,
but obviously no-one informs the AI player you were able to insert your nose
between his bootlid and the apron. You get pinched every damn time.
There's just no racing these artificial idiots, which, to me, kills the
game.

Well whoever told you that obviously has about the same intelligence as the
NASCAR Heat AI! If they are going to be of that opinion than hy not just
slow the AI down so they are too slow to keep up (and bother) with you?
Part of the fun of NASCAR sims is racing side by side, isn't it?
