Difficulty setting

[jdickins]

Dont understand Auto+2, Auto-2, Auto, why is there a plus and minus ? Understand custom setting,thats what I have it set on.

Auto would set the AI at whatever speed rating you have at that track. Auto+2 bumps them up 2 points, and -2 bumps them down two points. It allows you to race close to your skill level, or slightly more or less challenging.

Auto, after some laps, cars controlled by game will try run same pace that yours. Plus and minus will give more or less relative speed. Auto+2 is already enough to begin. If you fell much easy, go to manual and start at 95%. Raise til´feel get good competition

I don't think this is correct. To my knowledge, the AI cars do not slow down or speed up during the race to match your pace. I race on auto only and this has never happened to me. Even when I fall behind they continue to kick my ass lol.

What rockjaw said is totally right. It simply uses your speed rating as the difficulty setting for that particular track. That's all. If you do well at a race, it will bump up your speed rating up so it's more difficult next time.
