I think it's just an offshoot of the intentionally losing form of slowing them down. Just that with an unserviced car, you often don't have to try to lose. Plus, what's nice about it, is you aren't worried about using up bars, you can just play events over and over as many times as you want to. For the early days of many events, it's actually eeasy to win most of the stages with an unserviced car.

I was highly surprised to win 7.5 with an unserviced car, but I saw an opportunity and took it. I have noticed that about this game too, if you play enough, every once in a while they'll throw a super easy set of opponents at you and you'll win when you least expect it. Those cars were easily twice as far back as they had been every other time I attempted that stage so I just went with it.
