I think that a lot of people made sure they kept races to times that they could win unserviced because there used to be double fame weekends and the few extra minutes in race time were less than watching enough ads to service the car.

Now that double fame weekends no longer seem to be a thing, and the ad ID reset allows for more reliable playing of ads to speed up repairs, it is less relevant to keep times ultra slow.

I do think, though that you do need to do some slowing though. I made the mistake one time of finishing in under 30 minutes and from that point on, it seemed like the best I could do was 10th. It took me a while to realize that I could use a speed snap to manage the bots back to a level where I consistently win the 10-lapper again. Since they I keep it to 35-36 minutes and keep myself interested by attempting to get as many Audi's as I can at the top to the leader board and still win the race.
