Not many chances for bot management in Stage 2, though that seems to be the trend for these Special Events. FM is finding more ways to hamper our efforts. Stages 2.2-2.4 all have a "no damage" requirement, though some light tapping and slight collisions do appear to be allowed. However, it appears to me that the bots (at least the lead ones anyhow) are more difficult to spin out as well. So, there's a fine line between being able to spin them out and damaging your car enough to cause a failure.

Stage 2.1 is effectively a Time Trial requiring a finish within 2:01, nothing you can do here but finish close to the 2:01 time.

For Stage 2.2, I passed 18 opponents around the 4mile mark and the race ended there. Nothing special here, I didn't hold up any bots or anything (no reason to), though I suppose I could have waited to pass the final bot until I was closer to the 5.0mile mark.

For Stage 2.3, as I mentioned above, the possibility bot management is limited due to the no damage requirement. I tried to stay just ahead of the leads bots and hold them up a bit, but could only do so much out of fear of damage.

For Stage 2.4, since it was just a Head to Head race, holding up the bot is much easier since you only have 1 to deal with. I got in front of the SVR and just waited and waited. I actually managed to have the SVR T-Bone my car and it allowed me to set my phone down and just sit and wait and let the time tick away. After about 4mins of this, I went ahead and raced on. I was comfortably in front of the SVR and I slowed towards the end of the 3rd lap and let this inept driver catch up and finished about 10yds ahead.

Overall, no trouble really, hoping to be able to win this car with R$ upgrades only. Based on where we stand now with 1 Stage remaining, it appears possible.

Here's a screenshot I captured while the SVR was held up by me, I just thought it was kind of funny.
