Man the AI breaking in mid corner and damaging your car seems to be really a thing in this game. TF are the devs doing, this bug wasn't in last years game so how do they keep screwing up like that?!
Honestly, it gives a sense of immersion with the drivers being too aggressive and yeeting into each other. For me, it happens sometimes, and provides a level of challenge. Better for an AI to sometimes banging wheels than to always have a perfect racing line.
Maybe next time you win both titles early, turn failures off and just take new components for the race to get the maximum penalty to really start last. Then it’s proper last to first
