F1 Challange - ignoring blue flags

hello everyone =] I've got a small issue here.
I'm playing this F1 Challnage for a long time now, and i've never bothered to ask anyone this...why all the other AI-drivers ignore blue flags? when i'm coming behind them in a race, just before i lap them, they are supposed to move straight away from the racing line but instead they block me...same happens in qualifying when they are doing their out-lap while i'm on my flying one. I've noticed that this happens in Rfactor as well. Interesting...could anyone shed some light on this?

Crap AI

I haven't seen any game where the AI moves over when being lapped or where it doesn't move into the racing line when leaving the pits in quali. F1C has plenty of issues... stick to Prototype C mod, it's what saved that game for me!

Just a limitation of the game. I don't know if GP4 managed to do it either. NR2003/GPL certainly didn't.

I personally have yet to see a game where blue flags work properly. Only thing they are good for is getting you a penalty when the leaders come up on you, yet you pull away from them and get a penalty. Usually after a pitstop.

If I had a dollar for every time I had that happen, I'd be filthy stinking rich.


The Flanker is gone.

If anyone's driven the rf Endurance mod then the concept of blue flags and lapping apparently doesnt exsist for the AI.

gp4 cc cars usually leave the racing line when they are lapped during a race. sure, there are "misunderstandings" from time to time but generally it works. in practice/quali sessions they stick to their line.

Yes, in GP4 they generally leave the line, but only in dertain places on the racetrack. Sometimes you could be following a slow car for several corners before they pull on to the 'lapped line'.

Isn't it realistic? Remember the 2001 Monaco Grand Prix where Coulthard couldn't get past Bernoldi. Also I have never seen in F1 anyone get a drive-thru or Stop-Go penalty for ignoring the blue flags.

That was for position!
