From what I have seen there's no evidence that slowing in a career series will help you slow in a special event.

And that's either way: slow in special event does nothing for the career series, and slowing in the career series does nothing for the special event.

You can only slow down from within the same series. You can be racing Rattlesnack in one series, and Existent in another - both with the same car.

@JulzL: in order for it to take the result into account you have to continue, retry can be very hit and miss as to whether it works.

Also - it is quicker to slow (if you're happy to lose while slowing down) in an Elimination event (3 bots per turn). There have also been suggestions that drag races will help you drop more than 3 bots per race - but I haven't heard of anyone confirming this.

All bot slowing is best done off-line because then you get a more consistent check on who you're actually racing.

It takes longer but I prefer the "slow down and win" approach - where H2H is best (but you can usually only drop 1 or 2 bots per race on H2H).
