I have plans to develop a game (in AS3) in which four players play simultaneously against each other.

However, as it is a racing game, I need to consider lag, and whether Flash will even be able to do that.

Is live and up-to-date play with other players possible - or will I have to seriously reconsider my plans?

If it is, is the best way to do this client-side with a host (as I was going to implement parties and lobbies) - or is it considerably better to use a server?
