I know this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it. Could
someone tell me how to edit the setting files to race against the
tail-end of the AI field rather than Hill, Clarke, Gurney etc - I'm
afraid I'm just not in their league.

I've done this myself. It has the benefit of allowing you to add
AI at your skill level as your skills increase, just by increasing AI
field size within the game. Here's how...
* Copy your DRIVER.INI file and Paste it with a different filename
(ie: DRIVER00.INI).
* Edit (Notepad is fine) DRIVER.INI as follows:
* each driver has a [DRIVER_XX] header
* this is the order which the game selects the AI
* go through the file and change the numbers as follows:
DRIVER_1 --> DRIVER_19
DRIVER_2 --> DRIVER_18
: :
: :
DRIVER_18 --> DRIVER_2
DRIVER_19 --> DRIVER_1
* save the editted DRIVER.INI file
* If you want to switch back, restore your original DRIVER.INI file.

Here's a perhaps better solution :o). In your gpl_ai.ini you have a line:
npt_override = 0.00
If you change this to a value greater than 0 then this will override the AI
performance. If you set it to 1.0 which probably is the normal settting, then
Jim Clark will qualify in the low 1:29's at Monza. The Setting work as a
percentage of normal time. Normal time for Mr Clark at Monza is a low 1:29. If
you set it to 1.10 then Mr Clark will have around 110% of his normal time, which
would be around 1:38. I dont know for sure which times you will get exactly, but
I tried 0.80 and Mr Clark got under 1:20's at Monza.

has understood it the first time they've read it yet :o)).
