And you'd be wrong. It would be harder to change the performance characteristics of the car than to just make the bots a bit faster or start you in a rolling start a few hundred meters further back.

A Time Trial has no traffic. You can take the optimal line... and given the tuning of the bots on these events, you are usually encountering them at critical points... places where you would rather place your car to set up your braking and turn in.

Take those bots away and have a clear track and surprise surprise you are on a better line where you can brake a little later, turn in properly and exit optimally... all unimpeded.
