The AI cars are woefull around corners. Although they accelerate faster you
should generally be faster at the end of a long straight. What they gain on the
swing they lose on the roundabout (if that is how the saying goes!). Difficulty
with SCGT is you can't save your setting to put on a website and download as a
file.
SCGT is an terrific game as long as you get tweak the AI to increase corner
speed. OTherwise a little practice and hot bits on your car and you will beat
them every time.
As your car gets more powerfull you can add more wing without losing too much
top end speed. I have found that stiff suspension and thick roll bars help on
most tracks.
