I've seen that in the past, but retrospectively, I wonder if it was because the car needed servicing at the end of the race, as that affects the difficulty rating. I don't doubt, however, that they mess with the performance of bots' cars to be better in certain situations, than is possible.

For example, in Rank 1 or 2, I had a H2H on Dubai Autodrome with the Focus, against another Focus. Mine is fully-upgraded, but it didn't stop the Focus pulling away at a rate of around 1 yard/second, on the big straight.
