Assetto Corsa PS4. Abarth 500 Assetto Corse. Spa Francorchamps six lap quick race.
A while back I did a race at Magione in the Abarth 500 Esse Esse against Alien AI opponents to see how I would fare against them. You can see that video here:

With all the attention that the AI had been given by so many console players and the subsequent patch, 1.03, which supposedly addressed these matters, I decided to do a post patch race against more Aliens in the race version of the Abarth 500, the Assetto Corse.
Now, I'm certainly no "Alien" in the simracing sense of the word as anyone who watches my videos or has ever raced against me will testify.
I jumped into this quick race mode event without any practice which is why you will notice some horrible gear selection choices in the early laps. I took my setup from the one I recently used at the Nordschleife as it was the only one I had, and it actually worked pretty well here in Belgium too.
All this really proves of course is that in these cars, on this circuit, the Aliens of AC are a little weak; certainly weaker than "Hard" and "Very Hard" AI opponents I have encountered in other car/track scenarios. However, as it made me an honorary virtual alien for a few brief moments, I shall now go and have a beer :-)
Enjoy the racing.
