Cheating involves doing something to alter the game as it is presented to you when you download it from the developers, things like editing game files or asset bin files to give performance beyond what the game would give a fully upgraded version of the car.

Using the game, as provide by the developers with no alterations is not cheating. Would it be cheating if you set the exact same settings but every few seconds pressed the left or right button or the brake? Is it cheating to run Steering Assists High and get into group A in the Weekly Time Trials? No.

Is it cheating to time the chimes in a drag race to launch at exactly green? Is it cheating because we know that the bots display particular predictable behaviors, like very early braking and little deviation from the racing line, and exploit that for passing? Is it cheating to know that bots have a hard time passing in traffic or that the developers have implemented mechanisms to keep the game playable, such as lowering bot difficulty after a string of losses?

The players are using the game that they were given, replete with automated assists.

If the developers feel that it goes beyond what they intended, then they have to rewrite the Assists, steering, acceleration, and brake controls in the game.
