All the players of Gran Turismo 4, beginners or not, will also agree on the fact that the IA (artificial intelligence of the pilots managed by the console) is not developed yet enough. Indeed, it is enough to make a race to realize that the others pilot lead as if they were alone on the track, it does not matter that you are in front of or not.
