It should be clarified that the OPs issue is in Anything Goes category events. Obviously if you’re in an event with a specific car type you’ll see more variety.

Sure, like if I go to modern supercar category, there will be at least 3 DB10 JBs in 11 drivtars.

Or extreme track toys if you have lots of friends who have ultimate edition you will see mostly FE Zondas.
Sad thing is that this may be actually how system suppose to work instead of being a bug. As many may know game is coded to use same cars that our friends owned but problem with this system comes because it’s coded to select car what we have get first that is available in that race (and what we still own) so when start S2 extreme track toys race game check friendlist and their garage and pick them allways car that they have get first and because ultimate edition owners get FE Zonda really early game will pick that one everytime. And anything goes blueprints all of those who is pick TT or Focus as starter car and still own that one game will pick AI using that one when you choose car that PI is bigger than stock Focus and TT PI is.
So basicly it’s just code to select AI car is made too simply and have no variety at all. And this current system just leads negative experience when AI use same car every time and when you have those same focus and tt’s even when yourself use X999 car.

I don’t know if this is the way the system is supposed to work… I mean, if you set up your own car restrictions, the drivatars can drive the cars they don’t have… say, some upcoming cars.
Yeah AI can drive cars that they dont have but system is to make that AI use cars that that people have on garage if that is possible. following is from forza support when i first send ticket abaout this.
"The design of the Drivitar system takes into account several factors… chief among them… your friend’s garages and the cars available in-game for that class.
If you don’t have any friends playing the game, or who don’t own cars within the race restrictions, they will be given default cars with in the middle of each respective class.
The system will always base this process off the car/class you are currently using, so if you see too many of a single type of car, you are part of that process."

The irony of this logic is especially apparent for the part about “If you don’t have any friends playing the game, or who don’t own cars within the race restrictions, they will be given default cars with in the middle of each respective class.”
Because if I do a race for S2 or X, the Focus RS and Audi TT are definitely NOT middle of said classes.
But those focus etc fits race restrictions when using anything goes. When dont have friends and is not part of club system works bit better, i tested this my second account and anything goes S2 class i see opponents using cars like Bugatti, PO cars, Porsches etc. In Rally monsters there was good selection different cars and not every car have more than two, S2 extreme track toys didint work that well i pick FE vulcan and while some AI drivers use cars like 599xx there was also 5 S1 class formula drift car.
Good call. I just posted a clarification.
Interesting feedback so far. Perhaps I should have clarified that this happens consistently with custom routes with Anything Goes car restrictions.
My club members and I do lots of custom routes. During these, we will pick unique car builds such as “600hp limit, weight greater than 2,700lbs, RWD”. This does not fall into any specific division so we have to leave it open. The side effect is that any time we do these on co-op rather than pvp, the AI grabs it’s “go to” vehicles. My friends and myself have hundreds of hours in this and all the other Forza games so we have to get a little creative to keep the events interesting (we all hate Adventure mode).
This had been happening to me. The three cars you get to choose from at the start of the game were the only thing that AI would use - me and a bunch of TTs, Focus, and Chargers. Happened on all of my own blueprints with Anything Goes car type. Read this thread. From the FM7 rivals, I had added T10 people, drifters, Indy racers, etc as friends so these people’s drivatars filled my race grid. Deleted all of these last night. The AI field is now diversified.
This certainly hadn’t been a deal breaker or anything. I mean it is just a game i play for mindless entertainment. There is absolutely nothing in it that will ever have any kind of impact on the quality of my life. But i do like seeing the different cars!
