Reply To: Difficulty levels: 3 or 5?
Being able to stay just a little bit longer in the red zone of the tachometer is the only small advantage with level 3 compared to level 5. It only has some importance for a few corners and only if you make us of this method. So on average the advantage is only a fraction of a second.
The argument for using level 5 is mainly in the realm of racing: having better opponents.
