So I'm in the Time Attack Championship and throughout the last two races the same three A.I. drivers keep trying to block me or run me off the road.  It's a Time Attack, there is no position awards.  It doesn't matter who crosses the line first, second, or third.  What the hell? 
        Also. why is it that when you hit another car you stick to them?  What are we driving magnets? 

I bet they're women...

Totally agree.  I'm not entirely sure why the other cars are actually on the track to begin with.  I guess it is to differentiate "Time Attack"  from some kind of "Hot Lap" race.  But having 6-11 other cars on a track where you are supposed to get a perfect lap time, seems like asking for trouble.  I dunno, perhaps it's my rank, the car class, but as soon as I hit around rank 14 or so, the A.I. has been ridiculously aggressive.  Which is funny because the game as a whole encourages clean driving and not hitting other racers.  Hence, the magnetic cars thing, LOL. 

Christ, the other drivers are so aggressive. I can't even finish the retro set, they just keep running me off the road on Ebisu.

I lie how goatee man tells you to respect other drivers but other drivers instantly ram you for no reason whenever they want....

The driver Ai is just preparing you for the online world. 

Yeah, except at least online when the other drivers crash into you, you can run through them on resets.

Shift 1 has this problem as well. The AI feels like it was taken from the police in Hot Pursuit where there objective is to make you crash instead of race you.
