Actually where the recommended PR does come in to play is if you are green (at or above the recommended PR) you can quit a challenge as soon as it starts and retry and get a lower goal down to a certain point. I did that on the 3 lap Laguna Seca cup race and saw the winning car winning time drop by 18 seconds (that is 6 seconds per lap). Once I got it to the lowest I could (sorry I do not remember the times it showed) and had the same finishing time in 2 retry/quit I raced and found it easy enough to pass the first place car before start of lap 3. I think for some that is the only thing recommended PR has anything to do with.

On a side note the SEs have gotten increasingly hard the last 4 I have had to over upgrade my cars to win them. I used to win them about 2-5 upgrades below the recommended PR, this has not been the case lately. Although the last SE that I did enter I got the flu during the last 3 days and had to hammer through to win the car completely incapacitated by the flu.
