If this is true (quit, continue, try again) doesn't work - then take that part out of this long statement guys & gals...

METHODS TO SLOW BOT's DOWN

CUP & NASCAR As soon as the race starts, pause, quit, continue and re-enter OR If you have a broken car run the race a few times, each time you lose you will still get R$ and Fame. Place 4th or less, quit, continue and re-enter will slow the bots after a while. Also, you can get to 1st place as quickly as possible and try to slow the bot's down, either spin them out or park in sharp bends / chicanes and stop them passing. By setting a low time, but still coming first, it's still possible to lower the bots. Think about a Time Trial time, if you set a set a slow time it lowers the AI.

DRAG RACE Start the race, press go/launch and leave the car in first gear, do not click repeat, as this will repeat the current race, against the same bot, instead choose continue, then continue and re-enter. You will see the opponents will change to lower ones. Once ready to go, don't undo the lowing work by setting a fast time, instead use the gears to slow the car, once passed the bot go up through the gears, but watch the bot doesn't speed up / close the gap, or if close to the line go down a gear to brake.

ELIMINATION Elimination events are one of the best opportunities to lower the bots AI, deliberately lose a few times, do not move at the start (Tilt B), wait for the 20 second timer to run out, then repeat or continue and re-enter. You will see the opponent will change to lower ones. Once ready to go, get to first place and slow the bots as per the cup event.

ENDURANCE Endurance events is another good opportunity to lower the bots AI by deliberately losing a few times. Change the controls to Tilt B & when the lights go green, do not move & wait for the timer to count down the 60 seconds. Quit, continue and re-enter. Note the distance is reducing each time. If continuing doesn't lower the bot's distance try repeating. It is possible to get all 7 bots distance to 1.0 mi / km. Another point, the online and offline bots can wildly vary on Endurance races, especially with friends distances. It's normally much better to race Endurance races offline, before going to the Endurance event go offline (aeroplane mode), if you've already started an Endurance race online, exit back to the main menu, if your logged into GC / FB / G+ or Weibo, go to settings and logout. Then force close, go offline and relaunch RR3 - bots should now be offline ones. Once ready to go, don't undo the lowing work by setting a good distance, instead once passed the 1st marker, park up (tilt B) and wait for the timer to count down.

HEAD to HEAD As soon as the race starts, pause, quit, continue and re-enter. Repeat several times, but ignore the bot's time on the result screen as it is based on an average lap time. However, you can use it as a guide that the bot's time is reducing. Once ready to go, don't undo the lowing work by setting a good time, instead once in 1st place, use the same technique as cup events, slow the bot down. Quite often a single bot will not push you once stopped, so you can easily hold it up for 20 seconds, then go for it. Wait at the line to reduced the time set, but still win.

HUNTER As soon as the race starts, pause, quit, continue and re-enter, repeat multiple times. Each time you repeat, the distance to the 1st place will decrease. Once ready to go, don't undo the lowing work by setting a good distance, instead once passed the 1st place marker, slow down and maintain a small distance advantage ahead, when near the line slow to reduce the distance, but still win. It's also possible to spin out the Nissan Silvia (S15) to reach 1st, but be careful not to set a top distance. Final point, the Nissan Silvia (S15) can be on a different section of track from you, e.g. If 1st place marker is 1,000 yds / m behind. The Nissan Silvia (S15) could be going flat out down a straight while you’re in a hairpin or chicane, so the 1st place marker is going 1,000 yds / m behind the Nissan Silvia (S15), but travels at the same speed so doesn't slow for the chicane! The worst tracks that have chicanes before the finish line are Spa or Le Mans, learn from any losses, track knowledge will help in future events, sometimes waiting by the line is better, but be aware, you've stopped and 1st place marker could be going (120 mph / kph.

TIME TRIAL Set a slow time. In a race series this event does not add a trophy for you to continue the series (i.e. it does not unlock the next race section). However it does count towards completing 100% of the race series. Running a time trial with a broken car will therefore take no damage and lower the AI of bots.

SPEED RECORD As soon as the race starts, pause, quit, continue and re-enter. Note the bot's time is reducing. If continuing doesn't lower the bot's speed try repeating. Once ready to go, don't undo the lowing work by setting a high top speed, brake as soon as you hit 1st place's speed.

AUTOCROSS Each time you run an Autocross event, set a slow time of of 4th or less, quit, continue and re-enter. After each time of running, the target time is increased. If continuing doesn't increase the bot's time try repeating Tilt B will give better control to coast before the line if you are too quick or brake and wait at the line. Smashing the time will increase the AI.

SPEED SNAP Speed Snaps are the same "parts of tracks" as some Autocross events, except you must hit a top speed at the line so set a top speed of 4th or less, the lower the better, then continue and re-enter. Note the top speed's are reducing each time. If continuing doesn't lower the bot's speed try repeating and visa versa. Once ready to go, do not set a high top speed at the line, tilt B will give better control to feather the throttle once at the 1st place' speed, this does take a bit of practice. Smashing the top speed will increase the AI.

FINAL THOUGHT If you play against friends, do not be tempted to upgrade your car and set faster times, as this will increase the AI of bots, you could always do this once you've bought all cars
