Racers trying this event for the first time should be aware that it is not always possible to slow the bots with this new 2017 edition of the challange, compared to the original challange.

Bear this in mind when you read about people previously doing this challange with no gold upgrades that have slowed the bots, for example on the wiki tips page, as they may be referring to the original challange when it first came out.

Also be skeptical about people claiming to slow the bots by "winning by small margins" in this 2017 edition of the challange as the results they mention may only be in their minds! You should only believe a bot slowing claim if evidence is provided of changing bot times.

I was unable to slow the bots at all even after repeatedly coming last both in offline and online modes. For example in race 7.2  I took screen shots to check the bots were unchanged even after coming last 8 times in each of two alternative races. To win the car I spent 78 gold to get to 2,2,3,1,3,2,1 upgrades which is 14/28 for PR 59.3, and skipped race 7.5 for 35 gold as it's mostly luck needed to win the race by pitting the leaders early.
