I wouldn't say it's without really trying, they've usually spent a very long time learning the circuits, where the track limits are etc. as well as the general game physics. They've put the time in and they then put even more time in to get better with the specific car for that time trial. If you watch the replays they're often not doing anything special other than driving a smooth line and turning in the car with the throttle when required.There's something really depressing about fighting at my absolute limit to get within .3 of gold at Laguna Seca knowing the aliens are going 2.5 seconds faster without really trying.
I find it frustrating when I can't improve past bronze not because other players are aliens, but because I don't have as much time to practice as they do. Seeing the silver and gold times get further out of reach because they've had time to keep trying is definitely pretty annoying. Part of me wishes they had a way of tracking how long you'd spent with a certain car & circuit combo to adjust the target times accordingly but that would be way too much work for very little return.
