I hit on a Car that is exactly 3.0 PR below mine. It overtook me on the straight although I had passed it through Eau Rouge!

So, people are still able to "borrow" upgrades? There is no way he should have kept up with me let alone overtaken.

The code is fixed for borrowing. The second you cloud restore, you get a message that there is a discrepency and the time trial times are reset.

What could be happening though, if I understand the tea leaves on some of the forums, is that these players are augmenting the performance characteristics of the car beyond what the actual game code intends.

One other thing that could be at play is the run you get out of the turn. If their line is different, such that they can accelerate further back than you can, then the performance specs on acceleration aren't that different, so they will reach a higher velocity sooner than you, because of the earlier acceleration. That is how we can catch Magnus in a race.
