Some might find this useful: My PR is 87.8 (Engine 2, Drivetrain 1, Body 4, Suspension 2, Exhaust 1, Body 1, T&W 3. I passed day 7 without skipping. I plan to skip 8.5 because all I couldn't get pass 271 KPH albeit a 'perfect' race. I will skip 8.6 because I never hit 440. So instead of skipping too many GCs, you can upgrade your car like I did and skip 8.5 and 8.6.

7.1: I used the counting method to get a perfect race: three red lights (= 3 counts), first race is on the 5th count, second race is on the 4th count. Got 2nd position easily.

7.2 and 7.3: avoid hitting the other car's read before and during a turn, but do hit it when you're about to exit the turn, this way you'll manage to get very close to the other car during the straight.

7.4: Keep TC on. 7.4 is easy.

7.5: TC should be off. Get your 20 skids and then turn the TC back on.

7.6: combine technique 7.3 and 7.4.

8.1: Get to at least the 4th position. Then, slow the other cars down by stopping or slowing down your own car in front of them, do this until the good old man finds his way to you.

8.2: Easy. Just overtake him, slow down, and time your acceleration well right after he overtakes you. I got the last 4 overtakes during one corner (this was plain luck I think).

8.3: In most of my failed attempts, I saw that Norm found his way to 1st position, so don't worry about him, he'll most likely succeed. Just bump into his rear as often as you can do it without risking overtaking him, and it's done. The tailgating thing is easy.

8.4: The easiest of day 8. Got more than 3 KPH above needed speed.

8.5 and 8.6 are undoable.
