"But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was
nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into
a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark
Be aware that this technique is not without implications for the AI since
if you advance session past Practice and thus have a semi-random starting
grid, the slower drivers will tend to be at the start of the grid. This
simply isn't a very good thing at tracks like Zandvoort and Monaco.
If/when there is a GPL patch this shortcoming will be addressed.
[about inverting the order of AI drivers in the .ini-file:]
As far as I've seen, this inverting doesn't have any effect to the
starting grid. When you have the inverted file, and you select 19
opponenets, the familiar names, Jim Clark etc., anyhow, will take the
first places in the grid. They just qualify best in the 'practice'...
