What's your definition of cheating. Cutting a corner rather than staying on track? Intentinoally spinning another car off the track? Intentionally blocking a car from passing you from behind? Losing a race with a car that needs servicing a couple of times until the bots can at least possibly be beaten by the serviced car? Running a low PR race with a much higher PR car? Not logging the damage to a car in a race you do not finish? If the game did that automatically if you retired rather than going until the end, would that be cheating? Driving with assists? Taking advantage  of how slow the cars are at the beginning of rounds to shoot to or towards the front of a race when one is always (artificially) in last place at the onset (other than in certain challenge stages)?

I could go on, but it seems to me that there are a broad spectrum of things one can do with the game short of hacking the program completely. The degreee of challenge in the game varies, and the degree of challenge varies depending on whether you want to follow certain restrictions on how you play. There are some players who feel driving with assists is basically the same as cheating or is otherwise pointless. But none of this comes without some effort and it seems to me that people can choose to challenge themselves to the degree they want if doing so is not directly impacting other players.

I have used a number of short-cuts at times in the game, some more than others, but overall have to expend a reasonable of effort to figure out how to win challenges, progress in the game and preserve GCs for more valuable purposes along the way. Whatever makes playing overall enjoyable and does not directly harm some other player/person seems like it should all be fair to me.
