Maybe I could set a few more custom opponents as "rivals"/entourage.

@MisfotuneSeven Some of the AI drivers are better than others. If you selected AI difficulty increase while installing, that can make already tough AI drivers tougher.

I forgot to specify the AI Evo 9s having crazy performance is a Grip-specific thing.

@MisfortuneSeven Thanks for playing! Most cars on speed challenge has custom suspensions to make them more resilient against jumps. So that's probably what causing it, but it shouldn't cause problems. Evo is not tuned in grip but most cars are buffed in speed challenge. And i did modify some cars a lot so there might be some weird values here and there. DLC cars like F1, CCX and veyron are heavily modified.

Also imo performance bars in this game are whack, they don't really show the cars true power.

Oh, and I've noticed the Evo 9 might be overtuned? Ivan's Evo 9 seems to rocket off the line well ahead of every other vehicle even without my attempts at custom perf data.
