I remember some time ago I finished GT3 World Series, with a 4 or 5-lapper at Suzuka GP, driving BMW Z4 GT3. I was driving against a friend that was driving around 1:42, I was about 10 seconds behind him. Then, I fought to get 3 following 1:38, and I won by 2 seconds. That was one of my bests races. Epic! Slowness was not a guest in the race. I mean, sometimes we have to slow down the bots. But now, we have the challenges from the events. Anyway, really, it's difficult to do that.

What I mean, please stop with this, we all are drivers. I'm pretty sure in real life you wouldn't do that. Sorry if I'm not agree with someone, it's my opinion and I respect the rest of the opinions.

Everyone is allowed to have their opinions, I respect that too. What I would add is this is more then just a racing game, there is strategy involved, there are goals, targets and achievements, slowing the bots is parts of a wider strategy to achieve these.

For example in Retro Rivals the goal is to win the Lamborghini Countach and/or 45/85. By using the slowing the bots down methods, less can be spent on upgrades, minimising the spent, maximising the return, so it's possible to win the Lamborghini Countach and keep lots of, it's still fun too.

Six months ago I found this site, I was playing the 10 lapper of le mans at the time, and was starting to struggle to win, with a R$ only upgraded Toyota TS040 Hybrid (2014), I was looking at spending lots of on upgrades. After reading scattered posts on challenges, advising to slow the bots down, I started blindly slowing them down, it worked :) I could keep the to buy the other cars. It was after reading Time Shifted Multiplayer I could understand why this works. Without that strategy I wouldn't have all 116 cars on my top device :)

I still have fun playing the game too :)
