I think the AI should adjust to you in career mode like you gain XP AI gets tougher to beat or some what copays how you drive . You think they would have done this in games already
 
Haven't the time to do an in depth GT3/higher tier test today so maybe someone else could try Although I did just try this :
Quick race weekend, no assists, Pro Handling, 100% difficulty.
GT3 at Oulton Park Stock Setup in Ruf GT3 against 20 other AI GT3 cars.
10 min Practice 4th, Qly 2nd, Race 4 laps 17th... I lost it through Cascades and dropped to 12th and then lost more places on the Lakeside straight back to last. I clawed some places back on the subsequent laps as the AI were slower than me on the exit of the Brittons chicane.
It did seem slightly more challenging although Oulton is a tight circuit with only a couple of passing spots.
With some proper practice and a better setup I think I could win quite easily.
I use a wheel and am an average paced sim racer.

Could you please try a different track Trux? Maybe they're a little slow @ Oulton.
Try Brno, if you easily win there against AI with 100%, you're not "average paced".
 
Another one for you: Mercedes 190E at Hockenheim. In the vid I just posted in the video thread, the guy driving had his hands full with the AI. And as said there, he's pretty solid in iRacing.
 
Practice done
Stock setup in the v8 Vantage
I don't know the track at all.
7th 2 seconds off.

Ok race done. Finished 6th. Confirmed, much better AI in quick race weekend. Was a mile behind 5th and had a train of cars behind me. Now I realise I have taken the thread off topic a bit so I will leave it there.
Last thing to say is this title is immense fun and although there are a few things that may disappoint one or two people here and there, largely it's a win for us all and I am sure everyone will get plenty of enjoyment out of it.

View attachment 356010 Well on my kids life I have never raced here. Qly complete. Didn't nail a lap and finished 9th out of 16 for the race.
AI seem faster... Or I'm slower.
On a very positive note, that bodes well for the game in general, the spread of best lap times between 7th and 16th is only 0.45 seconds:bowdown:

Just so you know, the "national" series for classes and tiers with multiple series have easier AI drivers than their "regional/world" series. I've heard the difference is about 5% lower AI strength on average.
 
In the Eurogamer performance comparison, they mentioned that career races are capped at 20 cars.
Is this true??
I can't imagine the career endurance series to be capped at 20...

No. The multiclass races have much bigger grids (>35 cars).
