@MartinB1965: That's my strategy all the time. I've always told people that losing repeatedly is not necessary to perform good bot management. Not only is it unnecessary, it's far more time consuming that what I do, and what you just discovered.

It's about lengthening the races and making the bots finish with a much slower time than they would otherwise, with you slightly ahead in the lead.

You've nailed pretty much everything I do, get to the lead, spin out the lead car, slow to allow the 2nd place car to catch up, spin him out, repeat until the last lap or so, then maintain the lead and win with a small margin (<40yds or so, braking as needed). I also brake in front of the bot on H2H events as well, though I've noticed that the AI has gotten better at trying to get around you when you do this, but it's still doable. For speed and timed events, it's just a matter of not beating the goal by too much.

Cheers!
