Pre-challenge: R$5,060,500(guess) — 565 — 137/146 Cars — Level 171

Car: Hennessey Venom GT PR84.8 8/26

Controls: Tilt A, Steering Low, Brakes Low and TC On, Steering Sensitivity 5, Offline

Propeller Factory offline bot #36, My goal was set so low, I couldn’t reach the necessary 137mph average speed within that distance. As soon as I did hit the average, I slammed into the wall to stop and sat there until time ran out (seemed like an eternity). Goal passed, but at a farther distance than I’d have preferred.
 * 4.1 3.5mi v 2.4mi

Propeller Factory offline bot #36, Not used to this car’s handling on the oval yet, had a tough time recovering after hitting the wall on seemingly every corner. I lapped a bot on the 3rd lap, but hadn’t met the 3rd or 4th speed goals yet. Once I hit the 4th goal, on the 4th lap, the race ended with the green banner. Got a little tough I was making my way through lapped traffic as well. Best to get in your speed goals as early as you can.
 * 4.2

I didn’t catch which offline bot I was racing against here, but it appears to be a fixed goal anyhow. My first attempt, I cut it too close and finished at 49.089sec. and failed. 2nd attempt, I slowed at the finish and logged 48.823sec to win.
 * 4.3 48.823 v 49.016

mintCrystal offline bot #34, Hard to know how fast you need to go on these type of events. Not the best for bot management. SInce I was stuck in traffic the 1st lap (plus it was the 1st lap), I went faster on the 2nd lap to compensate. I did switch the brake assist to high and even slowed a bit here and there hoping to not set too fast a time. Judging by the finish time for 2nd place, I could have slowed quite a bit more. Hopefully it won’t affect the bots too much for the future days.
 * 4.4 3:08.392 v 3:41.471

With all R$ upgrades applied, I’m now below the recommended PR for future events. We’ll see how long this will hold up and when FM decides to throw some more fixed goals at us to force additional upgrades.
