Car won @ 4142111 - 290GC, net 250, no skips.

TBH it wasn't as hard as I was expecting it to be based on all the comments from 3 runs of this SE. The hardest element of this event is the car itself - it's not very predictable, very fast, but not grippy and when it snaps it's usually not saveable; making it really hard to drive on the limit. Which makes "no off-track" stages harder than they're with other cars, but other goals (time limits, top speed, avg speed) are not bad at all. For example, I had to retry both 8.5 and 8.6 a few times, but it was *always* because of offtrack (dumb me forgetting to brake early most of the time), in 8.5 I got average speed in first lap already and in 8.6 I had close to 450kph before braking zone for the first chicane. Night time doesn't help spotting braking markers either.

So, I guess day 8 is doable with less upgrades (1142111 or sth similar), but it would require skipping 7.1 as that is the only goal that is purely performance based and can't be done with less.

All in all, I still don't like this car and probably never will (in game ofc), but the event itself is okay. Newer ones tend to be harder; especially those that feature "one place away from elimination" crap and really extreme time limits.
