I already mentioned that. 7.2 should not have required the corner cut to pass, unless FM was trying to send a message of some sort.

I would have liked to have seen one of the top racers try without doing the cut. It is likely doable, but probably requires stringing together 5, near perfect, Time Trial-quality laps to accomplish at the recommended PR.

My point with it being about driver skill is that Upgrades do not seem to be helping those that are not running great lines and stellar corners. Even with the cut in 7.2, you still needed to be pretty much spot on at every other sector of the course or you weren't going to make the <1:20 Lap 1, <1:10 Laps 2 - 5, that you needed to beat the 6:00 clock. Even with an FU car, any skids, off-tracks or crashes will put passing at serious risk.

Goal 7.4 is more of the same. You have to drive a perfect corner and a perfect line and set up the chicane perfectly to reach the required top speed and also make the turns cleanly with the Recommended PR. That is extremely difficult to accomplish as you need to use the absolute limits of the track to accomplish this. It can be done without ME7's wall crash, but I do not think that a majority of the players can pull it off.

Even 7.3 is about perfect line and cornering, however bot management effect was on high for this event. Michael's target dropped more than a second and a half after less than ten restarts. I actually broke the original target in the end, but that was because I hit a really good run.
