Not all Cup races are easy. I had a Monza one with only 1s of off track allowed - so no cutting of chicanes - and the bots just absolutely toasted me on the straights - like I was 80 - 100 yds back by the first corner with an R$ upgraded car. My best result of second came by not braking for turn 1 and smashing into 2nd to 4th place car, came out of the chicane in second but I had no chance to keep up as every straight the bot would gain 50 to 100 yds on me.

For some reason it seems like the bots only upgrade their speed attributes - they suck just as much in the corners as the first boss challenge but have rockets on once they get on the throttle. So even Cup races at speed heavy tracks will be very difficult. Waiting to see what crazy Boss challenges I get now that I'm going to be restarting my run.
