Idk about the numbers the game crunches, but in my experience, waiting on the finish line still helps - definitely in career/MS/ES, almost definitely in LTS's, and I'd be quite surprised if it didn't still help in SEs. Bot management is written into the game, it's impossible to just push it out. However, what the rec'd PR is for is, in part, to limit the margins for bot management, so that it takes progressively more effort with an unupgraded car.

As for race pace, I now try harder to run races cleanly - to avoid even minor collisions at the start, and then to limit major bumps during the race. That inadvertently cuts back on your pace. On some tracks, you can also slow down considerably in the last sector, so that you're not just sitting pretty. But I don't believe the game goes as deep into our performances.
