You definitely can use previously completed events to slow the bots.

Outside of special events however you must ALWAYS post a time (/distance/speed). A result of "DNF" will not change the bots in career mode.

Just remember that it will take a while to slow: even the biggest loss will only cause you to drop down 3 bots at a time. It's more difficult to see what exactly is happening with online play (ie full TSM) because players change - but because it draws from a larger pool expect it to take longer to bring down targets if you're always racing against TSM-generated opponents (as opposed to always racing the pre-defined bots).

If you want to slow, but like to keep your win% high then I recommend H2H as the easiest option. Block the other car for about 30 seconds at the start, race normally, wait for them at the finish line. This will take longer than simply losing an elimination event because it takes longer to do each race.

It is possible to slow while winning with H2H and Cup. Winning Elimination should not change the bots. You can't make them slower, but you can definitely make them faster in Speed Snap, Speed Record, Autocross, Hunter and Endurance. If you win any of those by all but the smallest margins it is a recipe for dramatic bot performance increases (while they take a long time to slow down, bots speed up very quickly).
