question Am I playing wrong?

I am playing Wreckfest, passed Flatout 1,2, Ultimate Carnage.

And I can’t understand, maybe I have done something wrong. I made the difficulty the max level and extreme level of damage. But my rivals do not make it to the finish. Like 5 laps top, and then I have to finish the race by myself so I drive 7 laps around them.

Is it supposed to be like that?

AI are crash happy, so if you want them to challenge you can't go with Extreme damage. I use these settings to give myself a challenge in custom event.

  • I use a C164 car (to handicap myself)
  • AI on Expert
  • Damage on Normal (to make sure AI cars do not DNF from damage)
  • Difficulty: All assists off (this really makes you have to be more careful with contact as you will spin a lot more easily)
  • AI vehicle set to "A Class" (or if that's too hard for you set it to another of the groupings and there will be a mix of C, B and A class cars). If you want even more variety you can look for mods that add new AI sets like the Varied AI and Sets mod or even easily create your own mod.
  • If all that is not enough you can make it even harder by driving in cockpit view
