I sort of am too curious too, as the bots never win! But I've done umpteen practice races where I've slid the F14 off track, been re-passed by top bots, and easily chased them back down. If a bot was doing 1:12s up front at Daytona, then you'd never catch it, let alone catch it in the first few turns.

For what it's worth, I didn't know bots ran faster when they are in front of you. Generally they are not hard to catch. The change in bot behavior I'm very familiar with is that they late brake and dive bomb you when they are right behind you. If you don't adjust for that behaviour then it's maddening, especially in the high downforce cars.
