QUESTION Is it possible to generate bot races to gather telemetry?

[fxcesar]

Hello, this is my first thread, if this is in the wrong section, sorry.

I'm a university student and I'm working on a analysis project. I want to know if it is in the realm of possibility, to make a mod that runs thousands of bot races and gather the telemetry for further analysis. Running it manually would take ages, so is there any API or possible direction that anyone could instruct me to look into?

The perfect solution, would be to run on a terminal with no graphical interface and sped up.

It is possible, Ctrl + C in game engages AI control for your car, so you can let him drive as much as the car gas tank allows and you can have another AI cars next to you. But AI results can be a little different, they have different inputs, can shift differently, brake earlier... But I did a lot of testing for my mods with AI driven car, you can see full telemetry from your car when AI is "behind the wheel".
