This is very interesting 
I was watching over this subject and was also googling about a possible AC glitch. Then I also found the one from here on SRS that Marek Vons mentioned. That case is from 2017 actually. Saw the replay of one guy that was back then accused of cheating. It's still there for download After all the investigation took place, he was relieved of any cheating suspicion and was put to a proper finishing place in final score. The thing was only some kind of a glitch. But from his cockpit in replay, it looked like he was making little gains on acceleration and top speed on everyone in little "warps" or little jumps forward, like every 0.5 seconds or so. Not easily noticeable. So that made really easy for him to pass people. Those little "warps" seem to be the main obvious symptom to look at. His laptimes were shown to him as 2-3 seconds faster than of his competitors, which wasn't the case in the race results on the web page. My theory is that it's got something to do with the netcode and some desync which confuses the server in showing the proper car position to the other clients. And then they see someone just passing them easily supposedly with more speed.
