Re slowing the bots in "Events" rather than slowing them in "Career".

I've been playing with slowing the bots on the latest challenge (LM - PoV) - specifically 10.3.

I've done 10.2 twice now - once with Nissan, once with Audi - both times I crossed at a speed of 160mph - first time that got me Rattlesnack (6.3 miles) for 10.3; second time it got me MiceOrMen (6.1 miles).

I've used different strategies to try to slow the bots. The simple strategy (for events) is simply to start/retire - however this only drops the top bot off the rankings so you have to retire a  lot of times to get it down very far.

If you actually "post a time" (ie for endurance just sit there and let the time run out) it is a lot more like the behaviour in career where it will drop to a more manageable opponent.

Given load times for LM (for my tablet anyway) - I'm inclined to think that it is better to drop several levles down at a time rather than go through lots of don't start/retire. I'll look at quantifying this next time around for the Porsche as to how many levels you seem to drop (ie drop from which bot to which other bot) each time.

For the record - by my reckoning the 7 worst bots are:

Batliner

Tiesha Francione

Gayle Lokan

Brosig

Marcel Corrigeux

Dane Rabenold

Moises Gabby

Or at least I couldn't get it below them
