Special events (SEs) take a different approach to bot slow than regular series or limited time series (LTSs). Basically the theory is to lose horribly regardless of the tier and race you're on at the time, to trick the game into thinking you're a worse driver than you are- thus the bots will back off, or the goal will be set lower.

This is a combination of re-trying the race at the point of losing (quit right after it starts or cross the finish line with a woeful result), or clicking (touching) continue to go back to the main screen, then return to the race at the entry point.

When you know you're going to retry many times for the purpose of slowing, be sure to start that session with a cloud save so if the result is not as expected, you can instantly restore the servicing and try again.
