Unfortunately I don't know much about the rest of the file. I basically
had a look at it after checking the readme.txt file that came with the
game when I first bought it, this being in a desperate attempt to make
the AI cars race more at my level. When this didn't help me it was a
simple, educated guess that suggested that the line
base_gearshift_hiatus had something to do with the time it takes the AI
cars to change gear.
Once I discovered that it worked then that was all I needed, so I
haven't really bothered much with the rest of the file. Sorry about
that, though hopefully there are others who read this ng that do know a
lot more about it and can give you the info you require. :-)
