I just finished the current SE. 22.1 was no problem for me at 333333. At least my target was BELOW the top speed of the car, not over like it was at 4.2

Maybe that was part of the patch they sent out? We may never know. Too bad I can't go back and rerun 4.2 to find out.

It very well could be that the algorithm only looks at PR to label the car choices, but as long as these types of events have been in this game, I have never seen this particular thing happen in this way. And I also feel from past experiences, it usually does go deeper than a simple PR match. If not though, that's a heck of a thing for FM to overlook for this long.

As far as upgrade strategies go, I was "advised" very early on by most (everyone who replied) on this site right after I joined, to always spend the least amount possible to get to PR needed, until this thread. I was nearly scolded when I mentioned I had over-upgraded a car I was going to win. Besides that, you really don't know what the requirements are going to be until you get there, and lately, upgrades are affecting those requirements so you really can't tell beforehand what's going work, and what won't. I was still able to finish this event very easily, as the only single event I had to redo was 4.2 for bot slowing. And that in itself seems very backwards. Maybe that's the norm for electric cars....
