This is interesting. After The Elusive One I posted that I was all but convinced that bot slowing was now irrelevant, since I did no bot management or slowing, ran as hard as I could throughout, and finished that event with 1333311 which was probably better than I expected for my level.

Looking at what is happening here on stages 3 and 4, I am not so sure anymore! I've done stages 1 and 2 so far and again ran as hard as I could, adding upgrades only when needed. I will continue like this and see what happens. Maybe I am shooting myself in the foot, but it's ok, I will take one for the team! I'll let you know some of my targets.

I'm still hopeful that by the time we get to the crunch stages, they will be fixed goals, timed races, or average speed targets will override the speed of bots as the target to achieve.

On a side note, I really wish they would sort it so that bot management IS irrelevant. I don't mind goals dropping when upgrades are added, but two people with the same PR should have EXACTLY the same target in my opinion, regardless of when they applied the upgrades, and regardless of how they won previous races. This is the fairest way, and bot slowing is also time consuming and a pain in the a$$.
