I think part of the background to the OP is that most players are doing some or a lot of bot mangement.

I stopped doing bot management a few months ago. I only do it now in SEs or when I really have to because the goal is just impossible for me otherwise, but generally I go flat out these days, even if well ahead.

The races are much closer now, especially with the front runners, and sometimes I don‘t even finish anywhere near 1st place, especially if I mess up the start. Progress takes longer of course, but it is more challenging.
