So I disagree with the statement that after winning a trophy a race can not be used for bot management. I do think it works less so you need to lose more races to see a effect, instead of 2 or 3 races you need 4 or 5 races. Also I feel it works better if you lose multiple races once instead of one race multiple times... It may vary by device or operating system. I can no longer lower bots in any event once I have won any trophy. I have tried 20+ times in one Endurance event and the distance wasn't even lowered by 0.1!! If I finish 4th in an Endurance event, I can still lower all distances down to 1.7 km (1.0 miles).

I have read that several people are in my situation, while others are in yours. I always leave 1 Endurance event until my 2nd race last in any series I do. That way I can still lower the bots if things get out of control.

Take Breakneck Legends for example. I did the Endurance event 2nd last with a 1st place target of 4.7 km. Since it was already low, I didn't lower it any further. Then I ran the final Daytona Speedway race flat out and lapped everyone 3 times! That may hurt me in future team events, but it's the Venom! I had to see what it could do unleashed at PR 93.3! Are the first-placed people in the races you can't slow down, bots or friends?

I don't konw how all of that works. I have no "friends" (so says the game), but I do have team mates. They are in every race I run. The team mates name will disappear from the list as I get the targets lower and lower, but the spot they were in still stays yellow. So if they were 3rd in the list, 3rd place letters stays in yellow but a bot name appears. Sometimes their avatar stays their too, sometimes not. Kinda glitchy. Never-the-less, I can get the targets very low.

If I have won a trophy, nobodies distance will change. Not from 1st to 7th. Same thing If I try Speed Snaps & Autocross. Not one 0.1 for distance; 0.01 for speed or 00:001 for time on any player, anywhere in that series.

HOWEVER; If I still have an unfinished race in that series, I can go to that unfinished race and lower the targets. That in turn WILL lower the targets on the race that I already won a trophy in. Currently, I can't change any race as I'm 100% done. If they add races to an existing series in the future (like they often do), then I can lower the bots on that series again.
