Which tracks/events are the AI masters of?

To me, the AI is great fun, but it's difficulty is bizarre...

On some events, hard is trivial to beat, sometimes I crank it back to medium, and sometimes easy is impossible :)
Actually, I often find the difficult level seems to have little or no effect, ie. If I'm losing on hard, I will lose on easy.

So I'm wondering, is it particular tracks, cars or events they are good at?


E.g.
Modern A invitational, nurburgring ... They are so fast, of course passing is tricky as narrow ...but even so, I'm struggling. ( I'm reasonably familiar with the track , and have little difficulty in other games)

Yet, I then jump into a GT1 race, hard difficulty, win with no problem.

Currently, I think the AI are great at n'ring, and donnington.

What's your thoughts, are they about the same everywhere ( and I just need practice) or do the AI have favourites :)

If there is disparity, it would be good to track, so we know where we can get some tough races.
 
As far as I can tell, the AI drive all tracks equally well, but they always seem to be able to push the car as far as the track (and the difficulty setting) allows. As a result the player needs to be able to push the car equally far. On the more technical tracks and the longer tracks this is hard to pull off on every corner, which makes it seem like the AI is very very good.

I found this to be the case on the short Miami track. For some reason I just cannot win there on medium in my McLaren MPCetc. I came third, second, but there is always one car that outruns me and sometimes I can almost overtake it... but then I push the car a little too far. This has everything to do with my knowledge of the track though.
The same thing (but a bit different) is true for the ring. In the Modern A event I found I could win on the different parts of the ring, but on the whole track I always mess up a bit somewhere and end up getting overtaken.

The difficulty setting just seems to dictate the average speed they drive at.
