Sigh... here we go again.
If you win each race and do so cleanly (no crashes, gain skills yourself for clean driving (which give you more points than drifting does)), you will win the championship. The math works that way - the points divide only allows for some much ground to be made via purely skill points. Seriously, I've seen people whine about this so much (ingame more than the forum) and every time it's been because they ram people or managed to crash. Which means they gain no skill bonus even though they won the race. And every other time, it's that they didn't win each race and the supposed runner up raced cleaner than they did.
I've been racing for a long time. Before HE cars were patched out of adding their bonus to online play (that's right, they removed that functionality some time ago) this was an actual problem. However not anymore. Drifting in the back can only gain you so much if you are coming in last, or second last, or third last...
You get what place you earn. You don't gain skill points if you don't race clean. And if you race clean and go fast, you will make more than enough skill points by the end for your win to skyrocket you up the board. If what the OP said was true (which it might not be about how far away he was from losing) then he either crashed a lot or got the win and had no skill chain the whole race (which is next to impossible if you don't crash).
