I had the same feeling in 8.5! I felt nervous in the lead, and that was with brake assist low. Essentially, I could only screw it on Indianapolis, the Porsche curves and the final chicane (I tend to cut the second bit). I made it to the end of the second lap, but was a bit too cautious on Ford, and missed the target by, what, 0.5 seconds? FFS!

The key, however, as said below, is getting P1GTRs near the front. I'd add the lead driver must not have a Regera.

I still have until almost midnight today. I know that an unharmed car at my PR will just do 440. So a lucky grid should grant me 8.6 without hassle. For me the math is easy:

a) win the car outright (takes time, 0 GC)

b) skip 8.5 and/or 8.6 (40/80 GC)

c) take another upgrade, and hope for a) (either Dr 2 or Ex 2)

d) Pay for the car later (~700 GC).

It's silly to let the car go now: sunk costs fallacy.
