There are some arguments that using different vehicles will affect certain stats, but that has yet to be proven. If any builds don't work, however, changing vehicles is worth a shot. Managing speed boosts either right away or toward the end of the race will yield better results, depending on the race. If a build continues to fail, experimenting with when to use the boosts may help.
