In response to the observation below, this is not unique to this race. You can notice this phenomenon in a lot (perhaps all) of the races in this game. It is true also when you are racing against the time shifted stats of other players.

I have asked about this both on this forum and to the monkies, but got no satisfactory responses. The closest I got was a suggestion from someone that the game may calculate the projected times based on the average speed already driven, so it was coming up with something unduly long when I retire from a race right away. This is not fully satisfying to me, particularly when the times are meant to be time shifted races of other players; however, there may be something too it. Either way, it is very frustrating as it means you cannot easily tell what your target is the way you can in Speed Snaps or Endurance races.


 * I tried a couple of tests on 7.1 and it turns out the AI is cheating you. If you just start the race and instantly quit you will see the time that the other car finishes. Generally it is in the 8-9 minute range. Then race as hard as you can and quit about 45 seconds in and you will notice that the other car finishes about 7 minutes and 45 seconds which is hard to beat unless you have really upgraded your car...
