Did it in 7 1/2 hours of actual playing, with 4 services and 2 auto engineers used to prevent servicing. I spaced it out over the 4 days, and I did R$ upgrade the car as much as I could.

I got lucky on 8.3, I think. I ran it about 4 or 5 times with failures at the first chicane, and once I was convinced I could do it, just ran through the first chicane over and over until I got it right. I actually think the time trial gave me more trouble. It took me a half hour for 8.3 and 45 minutes for the time trial. Good thing cloud restore could give me back my time trial tickes and not make me service the car for 8.3.

For events that didn't require me to stay on track, I was full on the gas through the first two chicanes, cutting through the gas and meeting the roadway again. No assists, of course. I found that I could pass many cars on the first chicane of the final event by staying to the right of the traffic jam for the first lap, braking hard, and trying to keep the left side wheels on the curbs. Not quite a complete chicane cut, but still made it into 3rd after the first chicane. I managed to pull enough of a lead before I hit traffic that I could be conservitve going arond the lapped cars.

I also found that i didn't actually have to brake for the two 90 degree corners after the 2nd chicane. I could merely lift off the gas and drift through the corner. That somehow made it easier to carry speed through there. Other small lifts were used to keep the car on the track without slowing it down as much as tapping the brake would. Anyway, thanks for all the hints. They helped.
