I find that if you overtake the field in half the total race time the AI won’t really up its pace to make the race difficult. However, if you have a car that get up to the top 2 leaders with one or 2 laps to go, the AI will up its pace to make it competitive.I have come to the conclusion that it's a very intricate algorithm PD uses to change the AI's pp, rubberbanding, tires, and overall aggressiveness to suit the user's driving style and competence. I've seen them one-up my fastest time to the point of ridiculousness after having run much slower when I was sandbagging.
I guess that makes sense though. If you are in a car that can catch the leaders within 5 laps of a 10 lap race, no amount of logical pace increase by the AI will be able to catch you. But if you take a competitive car that takes 8 laps to catch up to the leaders, they can increase their pace by a few seconds a lap and give you a run for those last 2 laps.
