Thanks for the warning. I always cloud save before hard runs or all boss runs, just in case something like this happens, and I never back out of a race once I've started.

That said, Extreme only means that the bots are upgraded more than you are. It says nothing about how fast they actually are. I remember having to wait 10 seconds at the finish line for my "extreme" opponents to catch up so I can win by a small margin. Good bot slowing (and doing many smaller runs helps with that) can make even Extreme races extremely easy.
