I’ve been playing a couple of hours now and I have noticed with overwhelming/relative surprise that: No matter if I try a speed trap/zone, drift zone or danger sign I am literally swarmed by “angry” drivatars that are determined to ruin my run. I try my best to avoid but they are like heat seeking missiles ramming me left and right! I even encountered that they blocked the road in a drift zone. Well they had a crash (test) dummies!)) and I was zig zagging by them like chicanes in F1 thus making my drift score more of a challenge. I know it’s a game but come on! Is it because the challenges are too easy? Can we dial back the aggression a bit in the next update?(I’m guessing …no?) I thought they were bad in the main game but in HW it’s like they went to the Sith academy before joining my game … It is kinda funny I know but also annoying after 2 hours of feeling like you are in Predator the movie being hunted

I just did a couple of S2 and S1 races and they were almost well behaved in those races. Weird! I must say these HW races were incredibly entertaining. Although it reminds me of “Mario Cart Racing” it does make me want more. A good tip when racing in the HW expansion: Always expect the drivatars to be up to no good, so when passing them do it wide because they will ram you in many cases if you pass them really close. I’m off to more racing on plastic tracks 
I agree, but it’s the in race drivatars I’m tired of. They need to be set to the skill rating I choose, not unbeatable at every level.
I’ve had quite some trouble with most of the races in S1 class, the drivatars seem to ALOT faster than what they should be, getting speed boosts outta no where slowing down at random times etc… I do have them on unbeatable, but that hasn’t been a problem in any race up until now.
I must say I abandoned racing against unbeatable drivatars a while ago but was really surprised at how little difference there sometimes is in a race if you set them to inexperienced and then unbeatable in next or same race. In some cases I found literally no difference! To enjoy the game more I have set diff. near the middle. Life is too short and I want to have fun when I race in stead of pulling my hair out in frustration. On a side note: have you guys tried the Hot Wheels S1 race called “Stratospheric Slingshot”? (located near the middle of the map) It’s an amazing track that really shows what this silly expansion can deliver! I tried several cars because some of them were flinged from the track (gravity!) in a certain spot. This was really cool! Highly recommended!
