Dislike the structure of this challange. For Stage 2 goal 3 it is impossible to win with just the upgrades from stage 1. Even with a perfect start and passing lots of cars in the first set of bends, by the start/finish, the lack of top speed means you lose many places again. Sure you can catch them in the bends if you drive a perfect line and don't get nerfed by the AI, but even an almost perfect drive will put you in 2nd place at the last bend.

You need to have the 2nd set of upgrades to win this, but that means a 6 hour wait after stage 2 goal 1.

The best option is to complete stage 1 on day 1 and then wait until midnight, do the first race of stage 2 to get the upgrade analysis started over night.

Plus it looks like you need to do that for subsequent stages too. That really SUCKs donkey balls IMO.
