Succeeded with PR 89.4 (2242133), skipped 8.5 only Upgrading GC 345 + skip GC 40 no assistance used

If I could invest whole 2 days for the 8.5, I might have succeeded, but couldn't just ignore other daily matters...

- Initially I planned to follow an anonymous comment "1122233 PR 88,0  cost 200GC + 80GC  ( skip 8.5 - 8.6 )    Reward 40 + 15 or 20 ( I don't remeber )"

- but 7.1 drag race made me upgrade a bit more...1242133 - and the dreaded 8.5 seemed possible to me, so I paid once more 2242133

- I once finished the 1st lap of 8.5 with 2.58.**, avg. 274kph I also confirmed that we can save at least 3~4 sec in the second lap(because the starting speed is faster). Therefore if I didn't make any mistake I could have run under 5:54, around the known winning time. So theoretically you can win 8.5 with just that much amount of upgrades, but it is a lot easier if you invest more in powertrain rather than brake/tire

- 7.1 drag race definitely require pause/resume method and huge amount of luck
