I meant to add that there is a cap as far as I have experienced. Race times are generally 14:15-14:30 regardless of whether 2nd place is a friend, TSM bot or regular bot. Lap times stay between 3:33-3:35.

Even if your friends are really good, their bot will still do the times listed above. I think FM did this so players could effectively farm the event.
