They always have. Rubber banding has been common in racing games for as long as I can remember. We complained about it then too, but it's not like developers didn't try the game without it first.

If you want to find out if/how your game lies to you, you'll have to either ask the devs or expose more information via mods or Cheat Engine.

True, which is why I very rarely play racing games. I play Mario Kart with my family and friends, but that's about it. I'd much rather lose a race than have the game keep giving me second chances, just let me fail if I screw up so I can learn.
