Well, ever since MK64 it's been worse in the series.
The best way to see is to check whether at the end of the race, everyone is pretty bunched up in a group (whereas in a "proper" race, everyone is strung out....sometimes even getting lapped).
Also, within a 4 race "cup".....do the same 2 A.I.'s always get 2nd and 3rd? - a good indicator of RB IME.
In multiplayer it mainly extends to only ever giving the stragglers golden stars/bullet bills/golden mushrooms etc etc, whereas the front runners mainly get given crappy "? cubes"/single banana skins.....
.....the computers way of getting you to slow down and them to catch up :(
