There's no contradiction. Losing by a large margin and quitting the race has always been a solid method for slowing down the bots.

However, that method is not mentioned for the Gauntlet events because quitting and retrying the races costs R$ (and used to not even be an option). For normal Special Events and Career series races, you can quit them and retry races with no penalties, however the Gauntlet is different.

So, yes, it is possible to slow the bots using the lose and quit method, but you will be paying R$ to retry multiple times.

Also, like many of the other methods listed above, these may work only for the Challenge races, once you get to the Boss races (especially further into the Gauntlet), there are often fixed bots to race against which will not slow no matter what method of bot slowing you try to utilize.
