F1 2020: How to better estimate the ideal difficulty

Although not officially confirmed, the following rule of thumb is used in the community as a gauge for the difficulty level:

• For every single point in the difficulty level, the AI drivers drive about a tenth of a second faster.
• This means, for example: Set the difficulty from 50 to 60, your competitors will be one second faster.
• This shows how great the increase potential is also for yourself. Because while even a low difficulty may seem challenging to you at the beginning, with practice you will be able to keep up on higher difficulties. You will then have improved by several seconds per lap.

In career mode, you can always change the difficulty before each race weekend, but no longer during the weekend. Mit steigendem Skill ist es deswegen ratsam, die Schwierigkeit regelmäßig in kleinen Schritten anzupassen, um das Gefühl eines realen Wettbewerbs zu verstärken.
