Spent a lot of time on stage 8. Doing 8.3 (PR 139.9, no assists, lvl 237) with a 180 turn at the start and then anti-clockwise should save a lot of time. Find the feel of the long lefthander before the long back straight. You can accelarate earlier than you think. Around 200mph out of the bend, keep going straight on and just hit the wall, you should react 241 just before then. Then turn round and complete a full lap.

8.4 Couldn't do it with 139.9. Either skidded in the first few corners or Magnus was too far out of reach. You should be in second and not too far from Magnus by turn 3, the sharp righthander. First corner take the middle line and then the outside left / inside 2nd corner, accelarating early. The extra tyres and wheels upgrade made a huge difference (75GC, 140.6). It was pretty straightforward and just about getting everything to fall together over the full 2 laps.

General advice for all stages: -trust the car, experiment: the roadholding in corners is better than you expect, making it possible to enter at higher speeds and start accelarating out earlier too. -avoid skids, they really slow you down. Better to dab accelarator and brakes around coreers than to fully accelarate or fully brake. -try lifting the throttle instead of braking, or just dabbing the brakes and then dabbing the accelarator as you move round a corner, you retain a lot more speed this way -accelerate early (usually before you're halfway through the corner)

Good luck if you're still running!
