Why do we have rubber banding for opponent cars in the offline races?

[moxlox]

What is the reason for having rubber banding of the opponent cars positions relative to yourself in the offline races?

This could be appropriate for the beginners races, but as you work up the GT career/licence ladder it would be preferable to have no rubber banding at all of opponents, and instead have genuine lap time performance from all the cars in a race. I'd really like to have rubber banding of opponents turned off to increase the challenge. Thanks.

Because the races are three laps long...and you usually start two to four position from last.

Still too easy to catch after only three laps. Plus there are many longer races available.

Event generator and AI quality sliders. (With more options and tougher levels the higher your ability to run them, plus the ability to just "demo derby" if you want to take it easy... )
