Every race after that will include slower bots, offline or not, and endurance races will be much shorter. During drag races, retry doesn't have the same results as ending the race and starting again. I'm having trouble finishing drag races because at max upgrade, my car cant still beat a car which has a faster acceleration. However, I don't want to buy the car right now. Will this work? That would be difficult to say. Bot slowing using drag races will slow cars in the drags buy around a second or so, which may not be enough to win the actual drag race with an inadequate car. The real benefit of doing this is the rest of the series. For example, if I try to slow bots using endurance races, I knock off about two tenths of a mile every time i lose. But using the drags, I can knock off at LEAST one half mile each time i lose a drag. Keep in mind though, bot slowing primarily affect the speed of bots in turns/corners, so while you can make huge gains on standard tracks, the drags are still tough because it has no turns. Furthermore, if you aren't inclined to buy that other car yet, you can't finish the series anyway, so why try so hard to get the drags done now anyway? Just use the drags for slowing, then when you're ready to get that better car, finish them off then.
