What PR and upgrades do you have? I wonder how much easier this race would be if one races at (or above) the recommended PR?

I think what's happened is that FM has gotten better at creating events and goals which make it more difficult to surpass the goal unless you are closer to the recommended PR and/or you are a better driver. We've seen them implement different restrictions to attempt to bypass the work-arounds we come up with each time and some have worked well, while others have been terrible. It seems that the time/no off-track restrictions seem to be the key. This one added the avg speed requirement, which is what really makes it tough. As I stated, I didn't have much trouble beating the 2:20 time, but that's not enough to achieve the average speed.

That said, I was able to pass 8.2 at 1332333 with Tilt B, Brake Assist Low, Steering Assist Low, & TC Off. I made several atempts at 1332323 as ME7 was able to win with. However, I'm not as great of a driver with no assists. I could come quite close, but woudl come up shy on the average every time (time was no issue).

I added the 3rd Brake upgrade and I managed to beat 8.2 on my next attempt. My time was 2:16.183. It's definitely doable, even below the recommended PR. However, I do think that if you're going to attempt this below the recommended PR, it's likely only doable with few or no assists. I was able to do it with BA Low, but I had to run Tilt B to get it done.
