It was time to take a bit of a break from Persona 3, so tonight I did another rFactor simulation of the upcoming F1 race in Valencia. It took two attempts; the first one was a disaster because I was using an older version of the track with a terrible AIW file, but after upgrading to the latest one it was much better, with a final podium of Hamilton, Raikkonen, and, uh, Fisichella? Okay, whatever…

The AI is still overly aggressive though, trying crazy moves in corners, rubbing other cars too much, and the mechanical failure rate is nuts; it’s impossible to complete a full-length race with even one car making it to the finish without falling apart, so I have to do half-races instead. I’m still not sure if it’s the mod or rFactor’s fault, though.
