Not to whine, but I swear this game must be different on some devices than others. I feel like i'm pretty good in general, level 195, always C (or better if all of my cars are upgraded) in time trials, and have yet to fail a challenge going all the way back to the first Le Mans challenge, but some of the claims here just sound ridiculous.

Winning this car with no gold upgrades? How can that be possible when I have 16 upgrades, did all I could to keep the bots slow, and can't even come within 5mph of the speed record on 8-3, at least not without leaving the track? I've watched the videos, seems like I'm taking pretty much the same lines and braking/accel points, I'm just way slower. The person in the video below flies through Maggotts and Becketts without slowing or skidding at all, but if I try that without assists I just fly straigth off the middle of Maggotts. If I enable any assists to prevent that, the car slams on the brakes and I can only manage 220 or so.

I'm pretty sure I could win all of these with low brake assists if the assists weren't f'ed up, but as it is it's just not possible with any assists on.

I'm fine on races against the bots, but anything that's more dependent on pure performance (7-4, 8-1, 8-3) it's hopeless. 7-4 the best I could average was 115mph -- 119 wasn't even in the realm of possibility. 8-1 might have been doable with unlimited time, but after about 100 tries it just wasn't getting any closer so I skipped. 8-2 was tough but I managed it after about 30 tries. Stuck on 8-4 now, and I can barely even see Magnus ahead at the finish so I'll probably have to skip since I only have a few hours left.

And there's no way in hell I'm paying 250 for the next engine upgrade, plus however much $R the one after that costs, because there's no way it'll be enough of a boost. Cheaper to skip.

I've never had to skip more than one challenge before this one, and I've already skipped three on this one, not to mention buying two more gold upgrades than I usually would.
