Just finished day 7!! Slowing down the bots from the very beginning, and keeping them slow as much as you can on nearly every race, makes the entire 7 day event a breeze! For this first run through I chose the Chevrolet SS (Stewart-Haas Racing). Upgrades to listed Max PR W/R$ (50.2). For all of the Richmond and Indianapolis races, and a couple at Suzuka, I ran with SA-low/TC-on/Br-off, I saw a noticeable improvement in speed and overall freedom to use whatever areas of track that I wanted. I Only had to repair my car twice, to complete 2.2 and 7.2 (the repair at 7.2 makes the final day butter!) as long as you keep the bots slow the rest can be done with a deteriorating or fully broken vehicle. Problematic events for me were 3.3, 3.4, 4.4, 4.5, But there was nothing that took more than 10 or so attempts. The real key to this event is heavy bot control from the very beginning!

I found it interesting that when starting the campaign for the second time, FM chose NOT to unlock all of the days at the beginning and give a shorter window of time for completion (as they do normally), but rather, are making us go through 7 days again! Unlocking day-by-day!

Good luck everyone! And don't get discouraged! If an event is giving you trouble, just put it down and come back to it in an hour. Usually the problem resolves itself when we approach it with a clear mind.
