AI race pace discrepancy compared to Practice Programs

@SexyBrigadeiro"...their practice, quali and race paces are literally all over the place..."

Yes, definitely. 

The AI's pace can vary significantly from one track to another.  Eg Bahrain and Japan -- I really like racing both circuits, I don't feel like I'm better at one than the other, and yet I have to set the AI 10 clicks lower at Bahrain than Japan to get a comparably competitive race.

And the pace required to pass practice programs, especially the race strategy program, is not indicative of the race pace you'll encounter.  90 - 92 is a competitive setting for me at Spa, yet I can pass the race strategy program by a couple of seconds each lap.  Meanwhile at Singapore at roughly 84-85 I struggle mightily to pass any programs (and I usually don't pass any).  

So here's how I figure my AI settings -- I keep notes on every race and make tweaks to the AI setting accordingly.  I did a season in normal career driver mode with Gasly as a teammate and used him as a benchmark, and then continued to tweak season after season.

Tracks that I find easier than average (I have to increase the AI setting) are Zandvoort, Spa, Japan, Great Britain, Jeddah, and (to a less degree) Abu Dhabi and Monza.

Tracks that are tougher than average are Bahrain, Hungary, COTA, Imola, Singapore and Canada.  I know the "tougher than average" isn't all on the AI (except for Bahrain and maybe Hungary).  100% Singapore with sim damage and no flashblacks is tough regardless of AI level, I absolutely stink at Canada, Imola is a crash waiting to happen and I have yet to hit an apex at COTA.
