I think "Depuis" would be suitable if we had "Since" or "From" in the sentence.

au cours de..., tout au long de...
Either work but "depuis" is a no-no here. Why? Because you need a time marker for "depuis". You couldn't say "Since" or "From".. "the first five races of the year". You could however say "Since completing the first 5 races..." or "From the moment when he had completed..." but then that's not in line with your original. You have a very clear description of time passing, which has to be represented in the French rendering.
