Different rules apply to the bots than to the player. Right, because a player can't pass a bot on the grass :)  Anyway, there are only a few places where the bots will drive 4-wheels off, but most places they won't.  And, if you push a bot off, lo and behold, they slow down.  There is no special physics going on.

Bot performance seems very consistent to me, including the blocking moves in the brake zone, whether anyone is near them or not . I don't know if you guys play with assists, but maybe that is part of what you are experiencing. I think another part is discounting how much you are slowed down by being in traffic.

Anyway, if you guys really believe this, try it out. Go crank the offline bots in an ES and then run a cup several times. You can get to the front right away and see what time the bots runs. You can sit behind 1st place and see what time they run. You can chill in mid-pack and see what time they run. I'll bet you find they run the same times, more or less.
