This doesn’t line up with my experience with Drivatars. They seem to have a driving line that they stick to. They often can’t maintain the line in unusual conditions like high powered RWD cars with low traction (like the recent Retro Muscle Trial) and they spin out or drive very slowly. There might be a NN somewhere but it feels much simpler.
Super interesting.
I love racing games, and Forza series AI racers are much much better than Gran Turismo. Hoping for a great Forza Motorsport 8.
