The goal for that event is to have the average speed.

Bot management is about not surpassing the goals by too large an amount.

While slowing the bots and finishing with a small lead are advisable as well, it still has to be done while surpassing the goals set forth.

As such, considering the goal for this event is to reach the average speed and win, the idea is to keep your average speed close to 116mph, i.e. not too fast like 117 or 118+. Granted, considering the upgrades necessary to achieve that, it's not a concern for most here.

In any case, I haven't seen the bots become noticeably more difficult after completing an event with goals such as this that require large leads or long distances (like for Endurance events requiring goals well beyond what it takes to get 1st place). Besides doesn't everyone say that bot management doesn't work on SE's anymore anyway? Which is it??
