7.4 and 7.5 definitely possible with unserviced car (all R$ upgrades) - although bots need to be slowed down a fair bit. (Tilt B, TC off, no assists).

My driving wasn't great so I ended up with them slowed down quite a lot because I kept going off track. I reached 7.4 with only a marginally degraded car and spent about an hour trying to go round without going off track (reloading from cloud when I failed to try to preserve some kind of advantage). In the end I decided to see how it went with slowing the bots. Driving still not great so I ended up dropping the bots a long way after I embraced trying to do it in an unserviced car.

With almost serviced car was catching 13th by the start of lap 1, 6 by the start of lap 2, was chasing Magnus by about lap 5 - and then I went off track :-(

With fully degraded car and after slowing the bots a lot, catching 6th by the end of lap 1, think I caught Magnus by end of lap 3 (maybe 4).

For 7.4 pay attention to the names of the bots at the back of the grid - they're the normal bots so you can see how tough the field you're racing against is.

If you feel you're time limited - just keep on going off track/retiring then continue/restart.

Personally I found the unserviced R$ to be reasonably well balanced in terms of driving - no harder than driving the fully serviced version (ie just as likely for me to miss the turn and go off track/skid off track).
