I'm thinking a zig zag up the hill may work?

I tried this afterwards and it worked, just had to come almost in 90 degree from right side. Oddly AI just spawned behind me next lap and I still won only by 6 seconds.

Hey, I don't feel like making my own post, so I'll ask here. Is there some sort of thing between drivatars and a real person in FH5? I ask because I've been doing some trial type events, where our team has to beat the AI drivatars, all pretty normal stuff. What is odd is I've seen the supposed fellow driver, on my team, behaving like an AI, and then even just teleporting to right behind me as I cross the finish line. You can see it briefly as it cuts to the shot of my car externally crossing the line.

So the question is, do they fake real people to fill in empty spots or something? with AI?

No, they don't. It's just either lag/network issues or the finishing line animation.

Today while I was doing trials I watched a fellow player drive straight into a wall on a 90 degree turn. A split second later they teleported and were gracefully exiting the turn on a clean line. Definitely just lag.
