Whenever you ignore bot slowing even a little bit in Special Events, RR3 makes you pay really dearly!

In Victory by Design for intance, I got arrogant and got a bit easy on bot management since Magnus was really slow for me. And then boom! Ahmed popped up and gave me a really really hard time in one race (Daytona Road Course). It took me every weapon in my arsenal to race perfectly to beat him there! I wasn't allowed even the slightest mistake! And even then, I could beat him by ramming him from behind and spinning him out at the bus stop in Daytona :D

I could have made it easier by losing by a large margin a bunch of times before the race but I made it a personal issue lol :D

And of course I did some serious bot management after that race.

And for sure losing by a large margin a couple of times will still slow the Gauntlet bots. Even when you end your run, lose it by a huge margin! It really helps. Even winning by less than 25 meters instead of 50 meters significantly helped me! Even half a second counts immensely in close races.
