It's just an opinion to think that 7.1 is also doable with 3.5 but nothing in the game says so. Within a tier the bots basically have the same or similar PR in all events, the PR (and hence bot difficulty for the same bot, e.g. Moises Gaby) increases from tier to tier.

The idea behind an elimination event is to catch up and overtake the opponents within a fixed time due to better driving, and not simply to catch up and overtake them due to having significantly more PR, as is the necessary case here. Anyone can do that, there is zero skilled involved.

Just imagine a drag race where all you have to do is to hold your finger on the start button and the game does everything else for you. The winner is simply the one with most PR. That is what is happening in this event, because they simply haven’t thought it through or tested properly. One thing I'd like someone to try who will FU the car eventually is to do all the upgrades in order, left to right. Engine-1, Engine-2 until Engine complete, then Drivetrain-1, Drivetrain-2 etc. to meet the cup PR's. I bet in this event they get a PR of 3.5 and pass cars easy. There's something funky about how the bots are upgraded - they are always faster in a straight line at the final LTS races at LTS PR, but cannot corner to save their lives. It's like they have all the Engine and Drivetrain upgrades done but haven't touched the brake or tire upgrades.
