my one issue is that racing is typically about finding the fastest line through a course anyway. i wonder if this might have the opposite effect, where instead of providing a catch-up mechanic, it makes it harder to ever catch up.

I mean...not really? In real racing you still see leaders taking safer lines that are slightly slower because they can afford the extra time and don't want to risk crashing out and not even finishing. People don't push right to the razor's edge of possibility every single lap of every single race just because that's "the best line." Reality is that nobody's perfect, everyone makes mistakes, and so if they always go for that optimal line they will occasionally push just a hair too far or misjudge their position by a fraction and it costs them everything.
