Actually it does seem to all makes sense. If you buy early, you are in the green zone 'longer' and **if** you also do bot-slowing then the target would be slower. And in the case you describe despite buying the upgrade early, you did "   straight forward racing  " and thus ME7, which did some bot-slowing, got a lower target.

So I guess a conclusion would be to buy early, do a lot of bot-slowing while in the green zone events and then switch to straight racing once reaching the yellow/red. I realized my post was confusing, so I made an edit shortly after writing it. By straight forward racing I meant winning by small margins but without losing the races several times on purpose, braking in the corners, etc.
