I posted this in the main forum, but for those who only come here I'll repeat. 7.2 is the only challenge. (android, 122.9pr). It is doable. I finally won after 20-30 retries/practices by a bit over a second. What I found was you needed to practice going backwards. I turned off steering assists as it really screws up the initial j-turn, and fights you the whole way with steering assist on. The two keys for me to nail it were:

1 The very start; I needed to practice braking quickly and spinning around as soon as the lights went green. The camera in the out of car view is slow to catch up with you, so you're driving blind for a bit...

2 You need to cut the infield at the back straight chicane which took several practice runs to learn to stay on the grey for long enough (past the point the chicane enters the track again), when to lift, and going through the least amount of grass/ keeping going straight.

Then it was just a matter of restoring the save and lots of retrys with an unserviced car to get the finer points of the backwards line. I tried hitting the oncoming car, but my sense is it only cost me, he just soldiered on.

All others in 7 were straigtforward, and accomplished with good driving. I find I tend to get over eager, and brake too late. When I calm down and "go slow to go fast" I win. In 7.3-5 the bots weren't too chippy, but of course often had super human speeds out of the hole, and on the straights. They would sometimes harry you coming into braking zones, but just drive wide and hold your line.
