I'm not so sure about that. I found that during the race challenges you 
started off competing with other vehicles that seemed to make impossible 
turns etc, but eventually, with practice, you can keep up. What's more 
bizarre is that once you did catch up, they all start driving really 
badly, crashing into each other, flying off the road... and you could 
hold a lead really easily. Very strange.
