Stage 1 is too easy so just reporting my day and day 3 report. Waiting for servicing and R$ upgrades for 3.4 right now did all stages upto 3.3 without any upgrades

Stage 2.1 - Thought initially that battery management would be an issue hence cruised a lot but at the end more than 3% remaining so could have taken it much harder, since batteries also recharge while braking usual work should be enough

Stage 2.2 - 25% charge available which is roughly 6% per lap so no need to cruise get in first position and then look at battery remaining if needed then only coast, I caught first position guy on last hairpin before chicane and he was slowed by the back marker overtook them both and finished I think with 2 or 3% remaining.

Stage 2.3 had the target of 33.x seconds, managed it on 2nd try.

I am used to steering mode A so getting used to B is bit challenge else day should be easy for anyone who already familiar with mode B. I recently started with brake assists and TC off that helps a lot to do events with lower PR than recommended

Stage 3.1 - Overtook the bunch by first right hander then let 2 folks through by slowing down near next turn overtook them again before the straight turned out to be much easier than planned

Stage 3.2 - Again dont even think about battery if driving without assists other than steering. needed 2 tries as still not mastered mode B. target of +121 did it around 164 by coasting on the straight which was done just to reduce the distance from top

Stage 3.3 - Needed lot of tries on this one easy to win this outright but while tailgaiting for 40 seconds even small mistake will ruin it since other cars are much faster than you (if no upgrades are done). On successful attempt tailed 1st position guy till end of fist lap to complete the 40 second timer bumped him off near 2nd turn post straight. then I had to hold off faster cars from behind for 1 more lap to win. once in lead its easier to contain the bots

Stage 3.4 - tried 2 times just to see how it goes top position without any upgrade was 5th with top time in 4:10s whereas I am not dipping below 4:20 so decided to defer this post first level upgrades should be walk in the park post that.
