Exactly Sirrebel, what is cheating?

Is it cheating to, for example, rent a car and then get it free because of a bug?

Or how about cutting a corner to gain an advantage. How about running another car off the track?

Anything which gives you an unfair advantage and is not part of proper racing is technically cheating.

What would you find acceptable if another player did it (to you)?

I know it irritates me (to the point that I've given up doing it) when in a networked race a car runs me off the track or (even worse) a ghost car runs through me ... is that cheating?

It's a contentious subject.

There are lots of different ways which people find to give them an advantage over others AND in (nearly) every situation where somebody gains then somebody else loses out ... if by exploiting a game-issue you gain a place in an event then somebody else has lost a place.

I guess I just don't understand the point of hacking the game for infinite Gold, faster cars, etc AND then entering a competition and making an honest (or maybe just less dishonest!) person lose out ... if you can hack and get infinite Gold then what is the point of taking away somebody else's Gold as well? For example, the recent Top Speed team challenges, always won by a team with a cheat who has a car which has an impossibly fast top speed ... what is the point?
