Talk:Reign Supreme/@comment-27464495-20151224191957

I felt like I got burned bad by the Ride the Storm event where I had to use a bunch of money and coin to win the Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 by upgrading to 20/28 just to beat the insanely difficult bot named Finn Martyn (plus had to crash into things and block just to win the last couple races in the last stage). So for this Reign Supreme event, I decided I would be really aggressive with slowing the bots by losing lots (while actually running the complete race each time, not exiting out early).

In race 1.1, I started with Petrovic 2:06, after 15 loses finishing 10-13th place, got down to De Jong 2:25, after another 11 losses, got the to "floor" of the slowest bot times of 2:40 with bot names like Baker and Johansson. Then easily won the race (with fully worn out) car by 1.3s with a 2:40.373 (slightly slowed the top bot finisher).

In races 1.2.2 & 1.2.3, I had to lose each about 7 times to get to the bot floors of 45.208s Autocross and 103.43mph Speed Snap (in both races, all bots had the exact same times/speeds). I didn't bother running 1.2.1 Elimination because there are no times to compare. I won the Autocross with 47.946.

In 1.3, I had to lose 7 times to get the names to be all the slowest ones (Li, Jensen, Naidoo, Jovanovic, Muller, Johansson, Antoniou, Rossi ; some cycled in and out as I lost a few more times). I won this Elimination event slowing the bots by blocking as much as possible.

If slowing the bots continues to work, I'd assume all the stages could be won without ever upgrading or servicing the Koenigsegg Regera. I did decide to do all level 1 upgrades in case the later stages get harder, and besides need to get to car to PR 87 eventually anyway to complete Hypercar Charge.

Anyone else record the bot times to compare with what I found? For future races in the upcoming stages, it would be good to hear others report the slowest they get the top bot to be.
