Not winning by a large margin IS bot management. I also don't lose intentionally, but I always extend races and win by small margins and I slow the bots greatly (in career series and LTS's anyhow). Virtually 100% of my bot management is due to winning by small margins, compared to the other methods.

That said, Explorer23 is correct about bot management is newer SE's, it works, but only to a point. It also only works if you're at or above the recommended PR level. But, the catch is that it only works to a certain point. FM seems to have a difficulty floor on each race where you can only lower the bots to a certain point. Add to that the aforementioned fixed goals, which are really where the difficult races are, and it boils down to bot management not being terribly effective for SE's. Not that it doesn't work at all, just that FM has implemented enough counter measures to make it worthless. They want their GC and they'll find a way to get it basically.
