the bots don't go faster because you buy upgrades. The bots go faster because you set a faster time with a faster car.

Setting the same time with a faster car will act to slow the bots. Setting the same time with a slower car will speed the bots up.

Of course in these sorts of series there's no opportunity to switch between slower and faster, but the point stands.

I tend to run the EK LP 10 lap with an R$ upgraded porsche 919 - so 94.4. When I have run it with the R$ toyota (92.7), even when setting the same (winning) time as I do with the 919, the next time I race (with the 919) the bots are faster than they were (whereas the normal behaviour with the 919 would be same or slower next time). Similarly I've run it with the 911 (81.7), again same finishing/winning time, again next time I race the 919 - bots significantly faster.
