AI racing can be an invaluable tool in the arsenal of any sim racer. For me it’s something I use as an opportunity to learn new tracks and hone my race craft before jumping into online lobbies.

But as with anything - there’s good AI - and BAD AI. And that begs the question… which sim title has the best AI?

To answer this I’ve gone and tested the 6 main sim racing titles on the market today to see which one offers the best AI racing experience for its users.

Enjoy!

    So guys, what're YOUR thoughts on the list? How would you rank the current UI in sim racing? Be sure to let me know 😃
  • The thing i hate about ACC AI is that it doesn't make any mistakes. You can run a 3 hour race and the AI won't even slide or touch the grass. It's just super unrealistic, especially running endurance races with the AI, when you lose 10 positions just for one offtrack because they follow each other. The other thing is that it always gets a perfect pitstop. I need to perfectly aim to fit in my box so i don't get moved and lose 3 seconds, while the AI just pits in 30 seconds and is done. If you don't get a perfect pit, you just suddenly lose 5 seconds which is ridiculous.
  • @andyr3802
    Agree that iRacing is best. I love coming round a corner and seeing a car spun out or upside down - that happens a lot in human vs human races, but almost never in AI races. iRacing gets a great balance and it feels like you are racing real people.
  • @kevin_m
    Have had some great rF2 battles in BTCC mod and GT3. I am hoping AMS2 continues to tweak what is fairly decent ai racing. Good list!
  • @dirtyjerz32
    Great list. While I love the driving experience in ACC and getting my safety rating up over an 80, the challenge iRacing brings from their AI is far superior. Knowing that a race is never over due to the sometimes mistakes the AI can make, makes any race a great ride. the other titles don’t come close as most all have the train like experience and the top five drivers rarely make mistakes.
  • @heihangli3821
    This video popped up on my feed just now and I’m amazed by the production quality! Liked and subbed!
  • @petesimracer
    This is an excellent video. Your best yet. It the right duration and with the detailed commentary it would allow a driver to decide on the SIM for them, based on the AI realism. I also agree with the reordering of Assetto Corsa higher up the list from your original longer video.
  • @asdgeorge7
    What a nice and useful video , many thanks from me , i play ac and acc , and you are accurate to the point, so is sure that you are to the point for every sim . And its strange that the most online based sim have the best ai offline racing too !!!!
  • @dystopia_lp
    That was some really nice information. I didn´t think iRacing was that good at AI-Racing. I definitely should give it a go!
  • @lxvegone4251
    I needed this help finding a good game to race in. alot of thx go to you!
  • @Ted_RBLXoff
    Every title makes ai flawless which is why iRacing is a blessing as the ai can often make braking mistakes or give you a little bit too much room on the inside for you to squeeze down instead of leaving a whole 5 cars width
  • @markc3456
    iRacing is the obvious #1 here. But I put AMS2 on the second slot because they race without mindlessly running into you like AC. The other reason I'll only invest the time in those two as they are the only ones with active AI development going on. All of the titles have issues; only a couple are working on making it better
  • @ryan.4897
    I mostly agree with your opinions here although I personally find that the ac ai like to drive straight into me for no reason and would rank them lower. I would also place ams2 above Rf2 due to needing to dive into and tweak text files to make them good + the strange erratic braking and throttle inputs. Thanks for the awesome video!
  • @avinashdyasa
    video looks top notch doesnt look like its coming from a channel with 1.1k subs, awesome editing and confident voice, you just earned a new sub
  • @Walt1119
    Good comparison. Thanks for sharing with us!
  • @Jt7166
    Iracing I think by far has the best AI right now, which is still kinda crazy to say 😅. If Studio 397 ever give their AI some attention they could be really good again.
  • @RevRideReason
    Very interesting and good list m8. I agree about most of these but for some reason rF2 hasn't but a great experience for me been great for me but I think it's mostly bug related. Sometimes they completely stop in the middle of the race and things like that. I did try iRacing and yeah overall it's a fight pretty much which definitely is racing. I would probably switch AMS2 with AC but then again it's hard to tell cause I may not be the fastest but I can defend my ass off 🤣. Great video man new sub
  • rFactor 2 just released (10/17/22) a beta that has greatly improved AI. You have to go into Steam properties and choose the release candidate beta. This should be final in the Q4 content drop in November.
  • Great video man. Subbed. I'm probably never going to experience IRacing AI because I consider it ridiculously overpriced, but I've watched enough YouTubers to respect your verdict on it, it did look damn good.
