Talk:Path of Defiance (v6.5)/@comment-208.104.102.52-20180827150744

I missed out on this car last year due to a family visit. I had already upgraded the car to PR83.3 in anticipation of completing it, but missed out on the last two days.

However, what a blast it was to get in this car, already GC upgraded, and tear through the last three days like a man posessed!

Only 6.3, 7.5, and 8.1 were remotely troublesome.

6.4 is well documented as the 'toll stop' of the entire SE. Reaching the top speed of 199 can only be accomplished on the main straight with a good exit on the last turn and braking perfection on the opposite end. Take turn 1 as wide as you can! The average speed is not much of a concern, I believe I was at 118.5 when I finished this.

7.5 was only tricky due to losing focus on a longer run at Panorama. I lost it twice on the third lap in The Chase, having braked too late.

8.1 was fun and easy due to the familiarity we all have for la Sarthe. I ran out of fuel just entering the final chicanes and rolled across the finish line with 0.00 fuel remaining and a rapidly diminishing 70 yd lead.

Overall, the Mazda 787B is one of my favorite cars in the game, it's handling and sound alone make it a must-have in the garage. Too bad I missed it 14 months ago - but it's in the garage now! Car # 205!
