Day 8 Quick Tour & recommended PR

8.1 I needed to add some Exhaust upgrades (up to 3) to pass this one. I worked out a start point on the back straight to hit my speed run. I had trouble doing it without coming to a stop. That meant pitting the Bugatti so I could get myself somewhat setup. I got some tailgating time in before. then I just had a fight with the Bugatti to get the rest. Sending that Bugatti flying on the last corner was absurdly fun!

8.2 Pretty easy with upgrades 1131311. I decided to stay on track & work on my braking points for the future stages... I've got some work to do yet!

8.3 It's not easy to get all you can get out of this track. The corners are very wide so you CAN get a lot of speed out of them... however you risk going off track when you do. you don't want to get back in the gas too early and then have to nail the brakes to stop from going off track. Might as well quit and retry the race right there. I noticed you can't afford much sliding around at all here! I found my sweet spot was to brake perhaps a hair early, roll the corner a bit and then feather the throttle until I can go full.

I'm late today. Stage 8.3 was getting me frustrated so I slept on it. Today was better. Stage 8.4 is very hard for me at 1131311. You basically need 3 back to back Group A Weekly Time Trial quality laps. Real life is going to limit my day. I may not pass 8.4 until after day 9 opens. One advantage is that I can skip ahead and see if any stages need higher upgrades. Then restore back and do 8.4 without fighting so much. However I also want to become a better racer... so I'll keep trying at these upgrades. I'll add 8.4 here whenever I get it done.
