I tried a couple of tests on 7.1 and it turns out the AI is cheating you. If you just start the race and instantly quit you will see the time that the other car finishes. Generally it is in the 8-9 minute range. Then race as hard as you can and quit about 45 seconds in and you will notice that the other car finishes about 7 minutes and 45 seconds which is hard to beat unless you have really upgraded your car.

After using the engineer for several tries I left my car run down to critical service level and kept trying. It seems that if you set a rather slow time in a run then the next retry it will lower the time and you can win. The point is don't waste a bunch of money and time on service if you can win without it. I do have all the $ upgrades and the gold upgrade on brakes.

Hint: If you are not at least 2500 yards ahead in the first lap you will not win the race.
