Once you lose a race you go back to challenge 1 but your points remain at the banked level that you obtained from beating the latest Boss race. Another thing that may help particularly with the faulty cloud save at present, is if a race is not looking good for you and you want to preserve your current standing then force quit out of RR3 and it returns you back at your current level, it wasn't recorded as a loss, well it worked for me when I tried this.
