Mine was remarkably close as well, Ahmed finished at 1:28.136.

I was able to finish at 1:29.690 with full R$ upgrades, PR 75.6, 1112121.

Granted this took me a lot of tries. I was pretty much always able to reach the average speed, however Ahmed would always lose me on the banked sections. I just kept playing and refining my technique and I had it down pretty well. It just took me more time to get Ahmed slow enough that he didn't lose me by the finish line. I was finally able to do it.

I ended up adding 2 more GC (and follow-up R$) upgrades after 5.1, but I was hesitant to add them on 5.1 for fear of slowing Ahmed too much and not allowing me to stay behind him and keep my average up (plus, I knew I could average 142mph with R$ upgrades as well). So, I chose to muscle through with R$ upgrades instead.
