There's a phenomenon known as "rubberband" programming in which the better you perform, the more difficult the game becomes.
Mario Kart Wii is a good recent example.Racing games do this all the time. If your ahead of the CPU(s), they will get magic speed boosts, become almost flawless in their driving abilities, etc. Probably the only exception is in racing simulators like Gran Turismo and Forza.
Burnout is a huge offender of this. You have to be damn near perfect to get more than a couple second lead from second place.
