This update is meant to make the AI drivers appear more competitive in career and custom rally while keeping the difficulty the same - the fastest possible times AI drivers can achieve are still the same as before. The changes affect all difficulties, but are most noticeable when playing against Skilled and Master AI.

We hope you enjoy this update! Please play a lot of career and custom rally and let us know in ⁠the comments below what you think of the changes!
