Racing AI
Author
I am about to start a thesis to investigate the use of AI in racing games and am looking to build up a collection of information from fellow AI programming enthuiasts.
The first thing I am investigating is the current state of racing AI, i.e. what techniques are currently being used and why - FSM''s, neural networks?, what techniques have been abandoned, etc. I have many articles on game AI in general but would like to filter these down to racing specific AI.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you try google? I got the following when I did:

I''ve also done the car driver AI for a Trans Am racing game and a Drag Racing game. However, I doubt you will find an article or paper that discusses the elusive "why" a technique was selected or not.

Thanks for the links, when I tried google I just got a load of reviews talking about how good/bad the AI is in games such as Gran Turisimo, etc.

Here are two interesting papers.
Learning Coordinated Behaviors for Control of a Simulated Race Car
Learning to Race: Experiments with a Simulated Race Car
There are also a couple of chapters in the AI Wisdom book that describe a fairly typical way of implementing racing ai.

But sadly though, for most games I think a racing line is just mapped out manually before-hand and all the cars try to stick to it. Maybe I''m just being too cynical.
