Just my thoughts and experience with 5.4 and 5.5

After failing several times in 5.4, where I struggled to get into top 10, I considered a gold upgrade or two. As it is I persisted with just $ upgraded car.

I serviced the car 2x, so I made about 8 runs, improving finishing possition each time. Won easily after the 2nd service, with a small finish line wait in the end, and time of 1.29 mins.

Didn't really have to draft too much either, just kept the nose clean on the inside.

Then for 5.5 I passed the 1st time (11th place), with keeping on the insides of curves, and slotting myself in the middle for a quick draft on the straights. Bots probably in a slow mode from 5.4.

So happy for now that gold wasn't needed, but some waiting on the service times.

(Bonnet view, no assists - not sure if it makes a difference)
