As I was entering The ***** at Hallet, I had an AI car coming up behind me. I entered the turn slower than normal, because I wanted him to cactch up, and pass me as soon as we exited the corner. He did.

As soon as he passed me, I nailed it. You have to get on it pretty quick, because it's a long uphill climb to the next corner. So I was on it pretty hard, and right behind the AI car. That corner is a left hander, so we were all the way on the right side of the track.

Suddenly the AI car was sideways. Directly in front of me, moveing from left to right. Backwards. I had to get off the gas and traverse the entire width of the trck to get around him. Scared the poo out of me. I was sure I was going to T-bone him. That would have been a bad thing.

Later in the day, we were in the exact same position. I let him pass like before. But this time I waited. I planned to let him get 3-4 car lengths ahead before I got on the gas. Good thing, since he did it again. No big deal the second time. I had plenty of room, and the suspension was well settled for the avoidance manouver.
