iOS - bots slowed in last stage! 22/28 upgrades for PR 83.0. Stages 7 & 8 report...

Event 7.1 was hard and probably took me at least 20 attempts, 7.3 was really hard and finally got it after 30 attempts. 7.5 was insane, probably 50+ tries before I was finally able to win with perfectly cutting the chicane all 3 laps and just barely winning with 43:27.358 over Keed07 04:28.257 (7th hardest bot according to charts, but felt like hardest). Someone said you could slow bots down in 7.5 on iOS, wish I would have saw that before or had tried it on my own. I've just become accustomed that in the last two stages of special events, bot slowing doesn't work on iOS.

During 8.1, I was trying to slow bots just in case it would help. I failed a couple times by not winning by enough, or coming in 2nd and force closing too slowly and the attempts got recorded. Somehow during my several force quits during 8.1, all of a sudden I had much slower bots. In 8.2 speed snap, with worn out car, I lost several times and to my surprise I kept getting slower bots. Then I exit/continued/restarted event 8.2 and could no longer slow the bots, but still had a slow bots from before. Won speed snap with worn car over Oddly 154.36 mph (248 kph). 8.3 was was insanely easy with worn car in 02:57.714 over R. Rogers 02:58.473. 8.4 speed record needed serviced car, but was easy to beat "M" 181.52 mph (292 kph). 8.5 was easy and because of the forced average speed and slow bots, I won with with 05:30.672 (1:35:016 best lap) over M 06:30.919 (2:06.892 best lap). I thought by winning by over a minute, I would get a super speedup of bots for the last event, but I didn't, continued to be easy. Won 8.6 easily including waiting at the finish line for a while to let Magnus catch up.

So my question for anyone else running iOS, were you able to do a big bot slowdown in stage 8? Feels like I glitched the game with late forced quits in such a way that bot slowing actually happened on iOS. It was nice to taste easily winning special events like on Android.
