I'll post my "modus operandi" to beat 5.4 with R$ only (5.2 is in essence the same as 4.4, the wall does the braking).

I first did three assisted (Low, Low, TC: Off) laps until I felt it was quite a good run. It timed 1:47:5xx. That gave me a reference and the saved ghost allowed me to familiarize with the breaking points. Then I started to train the first curves and realize I could improve 0.5 sec in the first two (specially in the one at the start of the hill). So after several tries I managed to combine good performances (not great) in the three first curves and got a 0.700 lead against my ghost. After that I turned assists on and, even though I didn't have a good entry to the very large straight, I managed to score 1:46:970. This took around 16 tries (3 cloud restores with 4 drive each). Most of the runs where quite short, due to training the first curves only.

1:46:970 is hardly a limit. I think that with perfect driving up the hill and perfect downhill with assist you can get around 1:46:800. A perfect lap completely unassisted should be doable in 1:46:300 or so.
