Pitting is a way to complete 7.5, but it wouldn't work for me. I tried pitting dozens of times, each time I pit one guy, another would pass me! I was able to slow the bots down until it was quite easy. This in turn made 7.6 easy, which was also impossible for me before.

Finish last a dozen times or so and they SHOULD slow down (some say it didn't work for them). You can't slow down the bots just by coming last; you have to come in last under 84 mph (136 kph). If you cross the line any faster you get a DNF. I recorded the time of the first place car for 5 races in a row and it was slower every time;

48.847 49.287 49.521 49.808 50.251

Then I serviced my car and it was easy. Before that it was impossible!!

In order for pitting to be most effective you need to remember the following;

-Hit as little of the other car as possible. Wait until he is almost completely past you and then you can pit him quite easy with a lighter touch. This the basic principle of leverage. -If you bash into a car hard, you will lose lots of speed and damage your car, which will slow you down even more for the rest of the race! -If a car has more grip than you it will be harder to pit him. You will need to nudge him harder (and risk damage to yourself). -Counteract your pitting maneuver immediately or you will hit a wall or go off track and again, lose time and gain damage.
