I now (finally) have the AI working in SRX, and it seems to cope well with 8 cars together. Full Tokamak physics model for each vehicle, with the AI only having the same input access as the human player (steering, throttle, brakes and turbo).
Currently they're too stupid to dodge each other or overtake, but they seem to be able to post lap times that I struggle to keep up with. Just need a bit more intelligence to allow them to dice for the lead.
In the process of creating a new buggy model also, so currently it's just a frame, wheels and engine.
