I do think it works less so you need to lose more races to see a effect, instead of 2 or 3 races you need 4 or 5 races. Also I feel it works better if you lose multiple races once instead of one race multiple times... It may vary by device or operating system. I can no longer lower bots in any event once I have won any trophy. I have tried 20+ times in one Endurance event and the distance wasn't even lowered by 0.1!! If I finish 4th in an Endurance event, I can still lower all distances down to 1.7 km (1.0 miles).

I have read that several people are in my situation, while others are in yours. I always leave 1 Endurance event until my 2nd race last in any series I do. That way I can still lower the bots if things get out of control.

Take Breakneck Legends for example. I did the Endurance event 2nd last with a 1st place target of 4.7 km. Since it was already low, I didn't lower it any further. Then I ran the final Daytona Speedway race flat out and lapped everyone 3 times! That may hurt me in future team events, but it's the Venom! I had to see what it could do unleashed at PR 93.3! Are the first-placed people in the races you can't slow down, bots or friends?
