This mod makes races a lot more fun and does indeed make it so it's easier to catch AI and make them less unfair, however as said on the description makes cars slower and yes raising the difficulty a bit fixes it, but for whatever reason, only on the race. This does not work at all in qualifying meaning that if I raise the AI difficulty for the race the qualifying becomes nearly impossible because the AI is in a difficulty harder than what I'm capable of. Yes I could just decrease the AI difficulty for quali then put it back up for the race but this is 1) Tedious and 2) I will very likely forget which will ruin my race experience because the AI will be too slow.
Sorry for the excessive text but I feel like this is important to fix because the races are so much better with this mod.
