Is this your first run? I'm assuming it is as based on reports, you would have a different race offered instead.

Have you tried to keep the bots slow? I know it's frowned upon by a lot of contributors but it's sometimes the only way to complete an event without spending too much gold or wasting too much time. If you haven't, they may just be too fast.

The race is really short, so you have to compromise how careful you are with how fast you are. It's easy to complete the race with the objectives and it's easy to win the race without the objectives. The problem as you're aware is doing both.

By the time you get to about 1 minute, you should be nearing "Abbey" and roughly in third, a few metres behind the leaders. You have three real overtaking opportunities there:

-Abbey itself (get the outside in the left-hander then keep just enough of your car on the track through Abbey to avoid other cars and off-track)

-Bridge (Carry more speed into the outside of the corner and you should be second at least)

-Through Brooklands and Luffield (adapt to the leader's line, but just do enough to be in front of him, don't worry about the quickest overall line, just get ahead cleanly and stay ahead)

Good luck!
