Sorry, I need to have a rant. I hate this update. 1) It's full of bugs 2) This Dezir car is terrible 3) The challenge isn't really challenging

First, because of the iOS crashing issue that made me get 1 day behind so its taken ages to catch up. I didn't sleep last night as I was getting up every 3 hours to do catchup races. So yes, I am grumpy.

Second, I know the car is electric and so doesn't have torque but it's poiintless putting it in races where it can't compete because of a lack of straight line speed. Therefore you just have to do the speed upgrades. The speed should have been put on a level with the other cars. Did Audi et al enter LeMans with an uncompetitive electric car. No. They waited until it was on par.

The challenge. As a result of having to play catchup I now understand how this challenge was designed. At each level you have to unlock the upgrades and you are forced to do them to get further in the challenge. If you continually retire to lower the AI to the next level it automatically goes back to a high level for the next race. The only way to counteract it is to upgrade.

Which means this isn't a challenge. I have just done most of the upgrades available and then cruise around on low brake assist. It's easy.

Tip for those further behind. I have just finished day 5. If you want the car, upgrade hard and upgrade as much as you can. Don't try to be tight for Gold, it won't work and you will fail the challenge.

At Day 5 the analysis is 14 hours. The $R upgrades from day 4 and 5 take 8 hours. So don't leave the upgrading to the last minute, you won't have time. You will need to kick off these 8 hour upgrades as you finish the last race of the day so the car is ready for the next day. Don't waste time trying to lower the AI, just upgrade and get the job done.
