Yes - I agree.  The game should be challenging - but not so hard that
you have to play it every evening for a month before you can win a race.

Yes - although we can do that with the karts rather than the AI.  If some
guys have karts with great maximum speed but crappy accelleration then
a course with long straights would favor them over karts with good
accelleration but poor straightline speed.  On a wiggly course, the reverse
might be the case.

It should be more intuitive to juggle those kinds of numbers than it is to
adjust the AI.
