I don't think I've played a single racing game where I don't get the impression the AI is cheating in some fashion or other. Usually it's stuff like the other cars/karts/ships always following a perfect path and never falling off the course, to blatantly accelerating to catch up and pass you (Super Mario Kart). I was just reading a review of Forza 2, and it seems even a sim like that does it, I don't quite mind following a perfect path, you'd expect a professional driver to do it, but the reviewer commented that the AI cars didn't follow the same rules as the player car.
So, any racing game where AI opponents are handled like any multiplayer game, except the AI sends inputs to the cars rather than just guiding the car along a path?
