>  On the other hand, I've been doing straight forward racing in the current Track to Tarmac event and got a 240+ km/h target for the speed snap. It is not related to the moment in which you apply the upgrades neither; I've tried different combinations over the last 18 months and haven't spotted a pattern (I bought all 1s in the first hours of the event for Track to Tarmac, as has done ME7, who got 237km/h as target).

Actually it does seem to all makes sense. If you buy early, you are in the green zone 'longer' and **if** you also do bot-slowing then the target would be slower. And in the case you describe despite buying the upgrade early, you did "   straight forward racing  " and thus ME7, which did some bot-slowing, got a lower target.

So I guess a conclusion would be to buy early, do a lot of bot-slowing while in the green zone events and then switch to straight racing once reaching the yellow/red.
