Either upgrade (doesn't seem an option), or lose the race by finishing 8th, wait till you see Fame reward being awarded and force-close the game. When you re-enter the game, the car will have degraded, you will have received the rewards, (score for Race Teams will also be kept) and you shouldn't have failed the challenge. More importantly, bots should get a little slower.

Once you get them slow enough, save (it's useful to save between each challenge).
