is this true at every circuit?

the AI is designed to go faster as you get faster, check your read me... this can be altered using the AI Tweaker in the files section here http://gpl.gamestats.com/ JM Speedy Fast wrote:

I think the AI at Silverstone is a little slower than the AI at the other circuits, relative to the maximum possible speeds there. This makes it easier to qualify on the pole relative to the AI, and easier to beat them. I believe the AI is a bit slower because the Papyrus engineer that developed the AI lines (the *.lp files in the track folders) for all the circuits didn't really like Silverstone and didn't race there very much, so he never really nailed a couple of the corners. Therefore the AI lines are a bit slow in a couple of corners and as a result the AI lap times are somewhat farther away from Wolfi/Greger-type times than at the other tracks. In fact, in general Silverstone seemed to be one of the less popular tracks at Papyrus, although some people liked it quite a bit. Personally, I love Silverstone! I guess it just suits my style.

I like it because its easier. For this reason I find it pushes me to the limit a lot more. FWIW I pretty much like every turn at Silvastun.
