How about better bot selection. Check out the ss. This is with zero bot slowing and in the penultimate tier. Some are friends but, really, can’t we tighten up the spread a bit? I know improvements to the ai are not in the cards, but this event requires no simulation. I shouldn’t be able to win on the first go by such a silly amount, especially when I have to suffer through 20 tiers of this nonsense. That's because the simulation brakes at the second turn where as a human player takes that turn flat.

Same issue with the Nürburgring one where the bots brake before the line because it is thinking it needs to make the turn at the chicane. But that doesn’t explain the tsm’s. Why am I getting tsm’s that ran the event Unserviced? Why am I not getting tsm’s that put in a good time. I certainly have plenty of fast friends who ran flat out fu, yet I get a bunch of slow speeds. Lame. Unless you know that friend ran the race unserviced, there is a filtering process for TSM based on the simulated Top Speed. The simulation, I am pretty sure is done at the Required PR for that tiers Cup Race. If you are above that PR, you have an additional advantage over the TSM Speeds assuming you are already at 100% difficulty.

Also, I think that friends are prioritized to appear, so if they are bot managing, then you are going to get some pretty low targets. When I used to sign in to FB I would get RR3 Michael P's TSM. He assiduously bot manages everything, so I would be chasing Speed Junkies bot while lapping Michael's bot....

It is compounded here because of the braking on the last turn where no human player would brake.
