I usually drive with high steering, low brakes, and traction on. I can drive with no assists, but then I have to think more, so it's not as fun. Yes, that's a cop-out. I have all R$ upgrades, so the PR is 84.8.

7.1: I wasn't able to slow the bots down after about 5 minutes of trying, so I gave up. The longest distance was 2.4 miles, which was pretty simple. I tapped one of the bots at one point, but it didn't cost me the win. Cost me four bars.

7.2: Still can't slow down the bots. The fastest was at 199.79. I came in at 202.29; I've never been too good at keeping the speed down for these events -- guess I need to practice more. I used Tilt B, which made it a bit easier. I did not need to start out going backwards -- the final stretch was long enough to get up to speed. This one cost me 3-1/2 bars.

7.3: Still no joy at slowing down the bots. I hope this doesn't mean the rest of the event will be like this -- I'm way to lazy to do it the hard way. I took the Speed Snap to keep the damage down. The fastest bot was Meier at 122.69; I got 126.86. I did mention earlier that I'm not very good at keeping the speed down. No visible change to the damage on the car.

7.4: Have to beat 1:09. Looks like slowing the bots wouldn't help here anyway, so I won't bother trying. I came in at 1:07.1, mostly because I was more worried about the competition than I should have been. I could have slowed that one down a bit had I tried harder. This cost me 7-1/2 bars. Seemed excessive, but I'm still in the green going into the last event of the day, so no biggie.

7.5: This was also no problem, even though I couldn't slow down the bots. Came in way too fast at 26.9; 2nd place was 30.1. I didn't start braking soon enough. Hope that doesn't come back to bite me later.

All in all, an easy day, although I'm worried that I can't slow the bots down anymore like I was able to earlier in the event.
