It's impossible to cater for everybody. At the moment I'm stuck between legend and ultimate. The only way to cater for everyone is with sliders.

I play med tc no abs no braking assist auto gears
Why don't you try keep the difficulty on Expert, but taking traction and auto gears off.

You will initially be slower due to learning the game with no assists, making expert a challenge again, but gradually you'll get better at the game and can play on Legend.

Yeah right like legend is too easy but ultimate is too hard.

Changing current difficulty levels is not the solution as that will create the same problem for the people who are currently suited to those difficulties, and we will have more of these threads again. Additionally, the people suggesting everything is fine and that a slider is a bad idea need to realise there are more people in the world than themselves. The best thing to do is to either add more difficulties to cater to more people, or even better, a percentage slider that allows literally anyone playing the game to adjust the difficulty to a level suitable for their skill level so everyone can actually enjoy racing against the AI instead of finishing either first or last.

Somwhere on this forum somebody recorded Al the times and came to the conclusion that every diffculty until legendary has approximately 2 seconds between the other difficulty (somewhere between 1,8 - 2,2 sec a lap. And the gap between legendary and ultimate is approx 0,8-1.0 sec.

Maybe codemaster should make more difficulties with increments of 0,5 seconds, because a gap of 2 seconds is a bit harsh? Or like a slider that a lot of people are suggesting.

As many of you are asking for an AI difficulty slider, I have made a poll in the technical section and hopefully Codemasters will take it into consideration if enough people vote for a slider - the poll is here: http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/45125/do-we-need-an-ai-slider

Thanks.

Is anything gonna be done to change this? Haven't seen a single response from CM on this issue, which has been raised time and time again on here. I know they're busy fixing bugs and such, but this is a very important issue that urgently needs fixing.

@RoundTheOutside - I completely agree that CM need to make a comment - I have made a poll, hopefully we can use this to show to codemasters that this is an important issue. I have a link to it in my previous comment.

I'm actually gutted with this problem. Every year until now I've been fine on legend with a pad. Codies finally get their act together this year with a great game but I just can't bring myself to start a career because of this stupidly huge gap in difficulties, and by the sound of it I'm not the only one. Really hoping something can be done here otherwise I can't see me getting any kind of value out of my purchase with the Steam refund being out of the question now.

Let's not even begin with the pad handling also. The ability to have some negative saturation on the sliders would be a godsend but I guess there's not much hope of me enjoying this game without a wheel now.
