About to finish this event - on the last race at Le Mans but had a massive skid at Indianapolis and lost. Came 2nd 2nd time with car having no red bars, let alone green, but about to win car when serviced.

I have to say this has been one of my favourite special events, and the first one that I have won without skipping anything (in game events like RTLM aside). The last car I didn't win was the asterion and the hits and tips on this site have been invaluable - I have kept up since the stingray challenge. I know there are lots of negative comments about the challenge but to be fair it is cheaper to gold upgrade than purchase the car later - learnt to my own cost for the P1GTR!

The best bits about the challenge were the variety and actually challenge! You want to feel like you have invested something and get a reward.

It is also the first car that I have committed some gold upgrades too. Not to the recommended PR, but I would like to complete the car series one day and had a bit of gold. I won't get to 100% ever as there are some cars and series that I dislike but if a car is good I don't mind investing. It really helps!

Only tip is for the penultimate task at Le Mans. I had to do this about 8 times but it was all part of the challenge! In the end I stayed about 10'yards behind and encouraged some overtaking at the same time by ramming his bumper at the right time. It pushed him forward a bit but I could then keep pace and he didn't zoom off (who was it? Not Magnus - I would have written off his car if it was for some revenge!). Keep flush with the car ahead else you spin him out and overtake accidentally.

I don't think I will get the venom though - way too pricey for me! Unless FM put a nice juicy gold offer on?!

Right, back to it and win this car with free agent too :)
