What do you think about improving the settings for bots? This part of the game has almost never been touched upon, but there are many offline leagues. I could suggest developing kers spending strategies. What do I mean by that? Now bots sepnd kers after a certain number of laps, or if they are overtaken, they often do not consume kers completely by the finish. It would be nice to make bots smarter.
For example, so that they don't overtake everyone in front of the drs zone or so that, depending on the situation on the track, they spend kers to catch up with someone. Thus, it would be possible to develop strategies for using kers. For example, the usual (as it is now) be in a second (if the pilot is ahead by two seconds to spend some kers to catch up with him), a quick start (spend all kers on the 3rd lap) and so on, these are just examples.
There is a setting to enter the boxes after the rain ends, but I think the same is necessary if it starts to rain.
Upd: And I think you can also add 2 categories of leagues when creating and searching: online, offline. It could also help the player find a suitable league. I understand it's all hard work, but it can make the game better.

Hi Denis.
Some decent points. Agree with improving the bots behaviour a little, although based on the design of the game I feel a car driven by a bot should not be good. The principle of the game is based around live racing and making bots too good would undermine that. However they could be a little more intelligent. Their pattern is pretty easy to predict right now and as you can say can be frustrating.
Not sure what you mean by having a setting to enter the box after the rain starts? There is one already, enter the box when water level is greater than x mm. However it goes straight from 0 to 1 mm so maybe t what you mean is this could be brought down to decimals.
As for supporting offline racing… unpopular opinion but I disagree. Maybe when everything else more urgent and to do with supporting live races is dealt with. But offline racing is a player choice and against one of the designs of the game. I feel live racing should be the focus of support and updates first.

Hi Michael. Of course, too smart bots are not needed, I just wanted to make them more correct.
About the rain. One of the solutions is to use decimal values, you got me right.
And offline racing. I also agree that it is necessary to improve online racing in the first place, but if there is such an opportunity, it would open up racing from the other side
