Almost there. PR 90.6. I have 105 gold left.

8.1 was maddening. Kept getting offtrack trying to PIT maneuver the other cars. Must have taken me more than an hour ( I don't know how many retries). Got myself at 4th, let the 5th car get close and PIT them as they passed me by. Norm eventually caught up.

After that 8.2 was quite simple really. Got it on the second attempt. Braked as Norm was about to pass, then accelerated again. Got the 8 overtakes by the Mulsanne corner.

8.3 was also a bit easy even if I was completely unserviced. Never got closer than 100m to Norm, just let him do his thing and he'll finish first. The only problem is he only passed the lead car near the final straight leading to the chicane before the finish line. I skidded offtrack trying to pass the other car, but caught up with it by the chicane. It was close, finished at 2nd I think 0.100s ahead.

Servicing now. I just have to win 8.4. If 8.5 and 8.6 are too difficult, I'll just buy the skips. Or hope than there are 15 ads between now and the end of the challenge so I can buy them all. I've spent 465 GC on upgrades so far, no skipping yet.
