I don't think you can really drop the difficulty that much with a single loss. I remember a post talking about possibilities for drag racing, but I've never seen it with a cup race (most I've seen is a drop of 3 in difficulty).

I'm also not sure that the usual TSM rules are applicable in this challenge (as I noted below). They might be for the boss, but I lack data points.

I'm basically taking it to the point where I think the Boss race is difficult then, winning the next normal race, but failing the conditions.

I'd rather have to do a lot of short races (and collect the required tickets) than a single run where I spend a lot of time retrying.

Time > Pride (for me) :-P
