I am not sure you even need to actually lose the race several times to get the benefit of dumbing down the bots. If you just retire and enter the race again (not from "retry" as that gives you the same opponents), you can see from the times reported for the other cars whether they are going up or not. While the time the game shows when you withdraw from a race at the beginning are not accurate (i.e., if you hit retry at that point and race those same cars they WILL do better than those times), they still allow you to see whether the competition is getting easier to handle. Doing this does not waste car service and while it can be tedious, it takes less time than actually managing the races. I found 10.6 to be pretty good about this and was able to easily win after doing this for a bit. One thing to note, when you do this in the main game, the names actually change. However, in this Challenge, the names of the other drivers stays the same but the times reported for them will move. Good luck.

I did the pause, retire, confirm, retry method and it worked for me pretty good. Every time the time dropped by a little bit. I was playing with internet on so maybe that's the difference. I had a very very very hard time winning the race with the Audi. I eventually did, will soon do it again with a Nissan. So far I'm finding it easier with the Nissan. Could be because I've already done all these events once. Be patient and good luck.
