Pressed Restart and now Michael was in the 0:53.9s. Couple of skids, a couple of more restarts and then Michael got to 00:55.354 and stayed there. So within the span of maybe 7-10 restarts he went down by 1.5s.

The bigger problem as I see it was that 60% of this last stage of Track To Tarmac were set goals that had nothing to do with the bots performance. Finish in 6:00 was difficult at the recommended PR. Reach 276 kph was a hard goal. They are much more significant tests of Player skill versus ability to upgrade. You cannot drive assists on the events because they kill needed speed or time.

I am predicting that the comment sections are about to explode as many players will be unable to complete Stage 7, no matter how many upgrades they throw at the car.

I also didn't like that you had to cut the chicane to make the time in 7.2 with a recommended car.

Noticeable stages were 7.2 and 7.5. With PR 65.4 tilt A SA high BA low TC off 7.2 was not possible. I had tried 3 times and 6:08 was my best time. After turn BA off and cut the last chicane I could set 5:52. 7.5 requires a bit luck even with recommended PR. After 20 minutes of attempts and using block method, finally I could spun out Michael, blocked Zoe along with the rest of the pack and let 5th place passed at just about the time.

Although I agreed with you that FM should have not included cutting chicane for achieving the goal, this type of SE is what I'm looking for. Challenging but fun.
