So, I assume you want to wait to see if it is found to be a bug and the goals are lowered, thereby giving you an opportunity to repeat Stage 2 and post a slower win time, keeping bots slower in future races?

In my dealings with FM, the first contact is usually, "I'm sorry you couldn't win the race, but we don't see any bugs, but we will keep checking." Then, when pressed -- it is really is an unfair situation, they will compensate with some gold. In my case it was regarding a Le Mans race where it was an autocross. The autocross boiler plate language was on the event, about not going off track, but I couldn't achieve the time and I quit everytime I got the invalid lap sign. After I skipped it, using gold, I heard that racers were winning by continuing, regardless of the autocross sign that informed them the race was invalid. They completed the goal and didn't have to pay gold to skip. I complained to FM. They came back with 'sorry'. I restated my case, that it wasn't fair to me. I think it took a little over two weeks, but I got an in-game notice of gold being added to my account, and it actually happened. I got more gold that I used to skip. In any case, this is an option.

This Speed Snap seems to be an attempt to force upgrades. Most racers may not consider or it may not occur to them to retrace the start to possibly unethically win the Speed Snap, and in that constraint feel their only option is to use gold to complete it. I feel it is not unethical, even though in 'Real Racing' IRL it may be considered that. FM are gamemakers and if they wanted to prevent racers from this behavior they could in more than one way. Time limits -- ala Suzuka's 18 second req. or they could just not let the car make u-turns for that race, or give a DQ if the car returns far enough back tracking. So, my turning back to use the long straight to set the record sin is forgiven, as far as I'm concerned. I hereby absolve all racers of their sin, as well. :)

Good luck in your quest to find the answer to what to do in your situation. I learned, when I found this wikia about waiting to get the clues about the events. That has helped me, in the past. I have a conflict of feelings about it. I like to be getting the early information, so the bleeding edge sometimes cuts me, but it's worth it for the advantages I get personally.
