I'm currently up to stage 10.5 on my second go around, 4 days in so I still have 1 day plus 22 hours (if it goes until the time you started on the first day).

My first time I used the Nissan, and I couldn't complete stages 9.6 (reducing grip), 10.1 (finish 1,700 in front) and 10.6 (5 lap race with brake issues). I paid for all of them coming to 115 GC. I eventually got 50 GC back because 10.1 was flawed.

Now I'm using the Porsche (I love the handling - all the Porches in this game seem to corner so beautifully) and this time I made sure that I did the absolute minimum to win each stage, and slowed bots down by spinning them off where I could. 9.6 was so easy this time I couldn't believe how much I'd struggled before. 10.1, apart from the fact that they fixed if you actually do finish 1,700 it's a win (before if you finished anywhere ahead by the required distance it didn't work), now all the cars you have to overtake are the slower versions (not the LMPI's) so by the middle of the first lap I was in first position and cruising to victory. Stopped right before the line and waited for 2nd place to catch up a bit, and just crossed it 1,780 in front.

The rest of the stages have been very simple and now I'm up to the penultimate racing stage before the dreaded 10.6. I have been using the engineer for all so that I can continue quickly, and when I get to 10.6 I will purposely retire a number of times, making sure the bots winning time is slow, and then I will retry the event. I hope I don't waste the GC's on doubling up my agent and manager for this! If I do have to pay 40 GC to pass this event, I'll still be up (currently up by 100 after spending on managers, agents and engineers) and I'll have the Porsche to add to the Nissan.
