This was the worst part of F-Zero GX, to the point where the best strategy for some of the story missions is to stay just behind the lead until the end and boost at the finish. I had a truly hellish time playing through that story mode because of rubber band AI. I'm surprised it was still a standard game mechanic in 2015.
