Certainly doable in 1 lap with no upgrades, but the turn around trick lengthens the race nicely. I've just recently learned how much making the race take longer lowers bot difficulty, even while winning. In re-running the NASCAR series I had the bots driving at a snails pace. I am going to try it aggressively in this SE to see the effect.

I first tried 2.2 completely un-serviced with no upgrades. I drove backwards for 3 laps, then did the quick turn around. I was just nearing 180 kph as I crossed the finish line. It was doable, but not worth it! Maybe 5 laps was needed. Oh well, I moved on.
